    What happens when one embarks a journey down the cobblestoned paths of their own memories? What happens when they have to face the reality of ghosts past and of people assumed to be forgotten? If We Ever Meet Again is the story of Naina, ‘the girl with a mustache’ and her ‘bhai-friend’ Rehan, which is narrated by Lisa, a musician who happens to be the executor of Rehan’s Will. After years of turmoil and confusion and finally at the passing of Rehan, Lisa meets Naina in Budapest, where the two undertake a journey down memories past, which could be best described as a feeling of saudade, as they try to find out the reasons behind Rehan’s death. 
    This story, enchanted by the touch of romance is an emotional rollercoaster ride, as unusual and unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

    The streets of East London are alive with different languages, cultures and religions. Private investigators Lee Arnold and Mumtaz Hakim are well-versed in the community's tensions, the sad day-to-day reality that includes the desecration of graves at Plashet Jewish cemetery in East Ham.
    
    The vandalism of these final resting places leads to a disturbing discovery: one of the damaged coffins does not contain human remains but instead a sculpture of a man made of clay. This so-called 'golem', a term from Jewish myth given to a figure brought to life by supernatural means, proves intriguing to Arnold and Hakim, even more so when it is stolen from a police storage facility in an armed raid.
    
    The case leads the pair deep into London's past and its connections to wartime Prague, and onto the trail of a priceless jewel worth killing for.

    Eve Gardiner is a single mum with way too much to juggle. With four kids and their dramas, a hectic job, two complicated exes, not to mention the occasional hot date, she knows her spinning plates could come crashing down at any moment. 
    After her first ex abandoned her and her second ex let her down, Eve has worked hard to rebuild her family’s life and now, she’s doing just fine, or so she thinks. She definitely doesn’t have the time or the energy to trust anyone else with her fragile heart.
