  We too often realize what we want only after it’s gone.  
  In 1906 Montreal, Elie Rutherford dreams not of marriage, but of science. She longs to join the groundbreaking physics lab led by her father, the legendary Ernest Rutherford, at McGill University. But in an era confines women to domestic roles and separate classrooms, Elie finds herself trapped by societal expectations. Determined to follow her passion, she refuses to accept a marriage proposal that could shackle her ambition forever. 
  A century later, in 2006, William Hertz, a brilliant graduate physics student at McGill, lives an introverted life immersed in the world of astrophysics with his fellow misfit physicists. Wounded by past experiences, he keeps love at arm's length—until a mysterious woman, lost in time, crashes into his life. 
  When Elie concludes a lab mishap has catapulted her into the future, she must hide her identity to survive. But as her path crosses with William's, their shared love for physics kindles an undeniable connection. Together, they set out to recreate the experiment that could send Elie back to her time. Torn between her past and a future she never imagined, Elie faces a heart-wrenching choice. Will she find her way back to 1906 or embrace a new destiny?

  Luck is no lady...in fact, she can be a downright bitch. 
  Jake: 
  Coming home was supposed to be my shot at redemption. Instead, I’m finding myself chasing after an irresistible blonde whose mercurial behavior could give Jekyll and Hyde a run for their money. I’ve got too much on my plate to get tied up in knots over a girl who wants nothing to do with me. But Bailey Murphy may hold the key to my redemption, and I’m not giving up on either without a fight. "Irish" might play with a poker face, but I’m about to call her bluff...and I hope like hell I’ve got luck on my side. 
  Bailey: 
  Let’s get one thing straight. I am not your typical girl. Sure, I’ve got all the parts, but I’ve been a stubborn, irreverent tomboy since the womb. Which makes it particularly ironic that my heart is so damn girly. It falls in love at the drop of a hat and leaves me to deal with the aftermath. But no more! If Jake Beckett thinks spending one night together gives him some claim on me, he’s got another thing coming - even if the mere thought of that night leaves me panting like a damn Labrador. I’m not about to open the door and let Jake in, but that choice may be taken from both our hands.

  It is bad enough that the beautiful Celesta Wroxley and her brother, Sir Giles, are alone after their mother had scandalously left their father and ran off with her lover to the disapproval and outrage of Society.
   
  To make matters worse Sir Giles has seriously gone off the rails in London, drinking heavily and gambling away what little money they have. And he has come heavily under the influence of the sinister Lord Crawthorne, who appears to be encouraging him to new excesses.
   
  To her horror Celesta finds that her brother has lost their delightful home, The Priory, at the gaming tables. And that their estate, including the Garden Cottage that they have made their home, are now owned by the mysterious Earl of Meltham.
   
  When she meets the new owner, it is not in the best of circumstances. He comes upon her in the estate peach house, where she is picking the fruit.
   
  Sardonically accusing her of stealing the handsome but cynical Nobleman forcefully takes her in his arms and kisses her.
   
  Celesta has never before been kissed and she hates the Earl for his arrogance.
   
  But, when Sir Giles ends up in the debtors’ prison, the Earl saves the day in more ways than one and she starts to see him in a whole new light.
   
  Will this light of love finally bring Celesta out of the shadow of her mother’s sin?

  Set in New York City in the 1990’s, when Rudy Giuliani was Mayor and Bill Clinton was President, Looking for an Address explores the lives of Bengali men and women from both Bangladesh and India. Jhilli has come to New York for a few months from Kolkata for training at the School of Social Sciences, staying with her childhood friend Shipra in Queens. Through Jhilli’s eyes, we see the wonders of New York, meet their Bengali friends, and experience their friendships and romances with native New Yorkers Gloria, Joshua, and Benjamin. 
  There are bombs, both literal, with India’s nuclear testing, and figurative, with unexpected revelations about the characters and their lives. 
  Nabaneeta Dev Sen’s keenly observed sensitively depicts the intersection of the immigrants’ lives in New York as they search for a home and an address: for their bodies and their hearts. In 2025, as the plight of immigrants is hotly debated, the stories of these immigrants, whether cabbies or lawyers, are especially relevant and poignant. 
  The translator, Dr. Chhanda Chattopadhyay Bewtra is Emerita Professor at Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska. Her previous translations include novels by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay and Sirshendu Mukhopadhyay.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Quantum is a fast, character-driven techno-thriller that collides hard science with the most human of stakes. When brilliant Oxford researcher Bella and physicist Jack stumble onto a discovery that could rewrite energy, encryption, and power itself, their work draws the attention of governments, venture capital—and darker forces. From ancient lanes in Oxford to the pilgrim road of the Camino de Santiago, the wide skies of Arizona, and the tunnels beneath CERN, the pair race to understand what they’ve unleashed: a breakthrough at the edge of quantum physics with consequences for every person on earth. Friendship deepens into love as secrets, betrayals, and international intrigue mount. Rich with real science and place, Quantum asks what we owe to truth—and to each other—when discovery outpaces our ability to control it.
