Spot and break free from the patterns that keep you stuck in the past
Make sure that what you’ve already mastered never starts weighing you down instead of lifting you up
Focus on what actually moves you forward instead of just staying busy
Embrace experimentation and upgrade continuously instead of expecting immediate perfection
Adapt alongside AI while protecting your uniquely human edge

Packed with exercises and challenges, Bend, Don’t Break helps professionals, leaders and teams flex with change instead of snapping under it. Whether you’re leading through uncertainty, shifting roles or simply trying to stay relevant, Matt A. West will help you meet the future with confidence, clarity and purpose.

Hugo thought he was doing a simple good deed when he picked up a stray cat off the side of the road. A warm bed, regular meals, nothing more.

Broken Mirrors, Spilt Salt, and a Lifetime of Bad Luck

Belonging in an Ivy League but through a twist of misfortune, stuck in a community college pre-law program, Mallory’s doing her best to minimize the misfortune she brings to those in close proximity. Her only haven is a group of gamers she befriended while playing Arcana Quest. Online camaraderie quickly morphed into real friendship with one standout friend—Valkyrie, whom she told about her cursed luck.

When one of their friends suffers a particularly bad interaction with a threatening man, Valkyrie suggests an unconventional idea: Mallory should harness her bad luck to take down jerks on dating apps. It works like a charm—well, a broken one.

Mallory wrestles with the ethical morality of her actions, while trying to balance her internship with an enigmatic personal injury lawyer, who seems immune to the torrent of disasters that follow her.

Can she use her curse to deliver justice without spiraling into chaos? Or has she found herself a more dangerous way for her bad luck to bring her to ruin?

Well, to understand that, we have to take a trip that started a few weeks and 600 miles back.

Before the darned pink Caddy showed up.

Before the seriously sexy paramedic rescued her.

Before a respected local politician was accused of a heinous crime.

We have to start on the day when Nadia went about her business, thinking that she had life all put together.

Empires That Shaped Bharat

A sweeping political history of the dynasties, kingdoms and ideas that shaped ancient India.

Empires rise through ambition, fracture through conflict and endure through memory.

The story of the Indian subcontinent unfolds across centuries, with stories of migration, conquest and cultural transformation. From the earliest Aryan settlements in friction with the aboriginal people to the fall of the Rajput dynasty, this volume traces the history of ancient India before the sultanates.

At the heart of this book are the accounts of legendary and historical figures whose reigns marked turning points in the trajectory of their kingdoms as they shaped kingship, statecraft and culture. Through genealogies and shifting territories, it reveals how various powers were formed, contested and remembered.

Empires that Shaped Bharat curates the archived writings of historian Hem Chandra Raychaudhuri and economic historian and translator of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, Romesh Chunder Dutt, to reconstruct dynasties that rose through war, ritual, lineage and ideas. Grounded in classical sources from Vedic literature, epics, Puranic accounts and early historical narratives, it is as much a history of thought as it is of empire.

A story of early Indian civilisations imagining themselves and their place in the world.

Rich in political history, cultural evolution and historical insight, this volume offers readers an accessible gateway to understanding the foundations of ancient Bharat and the forces that shaped its enduring legacy.

The Index Series by The Bombay Circle Press brings you a curated collection of stories from and about the history of India. From the speeches of Netaji to the empires that shaped Bharat, each volume is thoughtfully compiled and edited by The Bombay Circle Press team.

Empires That Shaped Bharat is the third volume in The Index Series—a compelling exploration of the rulers, kingdoms and ideas that laid the foundations of Indian civilisation.

Famous In Love

Dating a K-pop idol is a sweet kind of chaos — all glitter, secrecy, and missed flights wrapped in late-night confessions.

It means loving someone whose life belongs to schedules and spotlights, where dates happen backstage, kisses are stolen between performances, and privacy is a luxury. Yet behind the perfect smiles are people who hoard snacks, make impulsive confessions, and fall in love just as messily as anyone else.

In Famous in Love, secret dressing-room romances, loophole proposals, and chaotic meet-cutes unfold across the industry—from idols hiding relationships from managers to long-distance fiancés navigating exhaustion, fame, and longing. Some love stories begin with shared fandom obsessions, others with midnight convenience-store encounters, but all are shaped by one truth: love in the spotlight is fragile, funny, and fiercely protected.

Because loving a K-pop idol isn’t just about glamour.

It’s about choosing each other through distance, scandal, and silence — again and again, until the stage lights fade and what remains is simply love.

Freeing Madame X

Escape has never felt like an option. Until him.

For years, she has lived under the control of Dave Compton—the arrogant, possessive son of the man who owns the town as surely as he owns its people. To Dave, she is obedience personified, a body to claim and a will to break.

Until…

Desire, for the first time, feels like a choice rather than a demand. Lust takes the centre stage as they are both drawn to each other, knowing very well about the risks involved.

But Dave is not a man who releases what he believes belongs to him. As control tightens and lines are drawn, she is forced to confront what freedom truly costs—and whether she’s brave enough to take what is rightfully hers. Between possession and passion, fear and ecstasy—a reckoning awaits.

But for one of the O’Learys, this new friendship sparks an intense attachment that makes the dynamic dangerous for all. It’s difficult to bury secrets, but almost impossible to bury feelings…

Crackling with suspense, Heap Earth Upon It revisits the rural Ireland of Howarth’s critically acclaimed debut and delves into claustrophobic relationships and tangled identities, leaving you wondering who to trust until the very last page. It combines the emotional intensity and slow-burn sapphic obsession of Julia Armfield’s Our Wives Under the Sea and K. Patrick’s Mrs S. with the unsettling gothic undertones of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca and Shirley Jackson’s fiction.

Gothic, lush, and suspenseful, Chloe Michelle Howarth spins a tangled web that leaves you wondering who to trust until the very last page.

My Last Brother

How far away will you run from the ghosts of your past?

Rule No. 1: Rent’s due on the first of every month.

Rule No. 2: No loud noises or partying.

Rule No. 3 and the most important one: Never, ever go to the west side of the house.

Those are the only three rules that Rohit has set for his newly acquired tenant, Darsh. Fiercely protective of his privacy, Rohit would have never gotten a tenant if not for his financial situation. His life is in tatters, he’s become a shell of a man and after losing his entire family in a car crash, he’s still learning how to function. Now, Rohit spends his days tormented and alone in the bleak mansion. When Darsh moves into the dreary house, he begins to notice that the cheap rent was too good to be true. On top of that, Rohit’s rules might be alluding to much darker secrets. As Darsh begins to uncover the web of half-truths and lies, he starts giving into the small town’s rumours and gossip. Now he has a choice–get out safe and alive or…let curiosity kill the cat.
