  Shatranj Te Zindgi is a powerful and heart-wrenching novel that captures the struggles of ordinary people caught in the storms of partition, displacement, and human cruelty. Through the life of Mohan Lal, a street hawker who loses his family and peace to the horrors of communal violence, the book sheds light on the painful truths of history. The narrative explores human emotions of love, loss, betrayal, and survival in a way that mirrors the complexities of a chess game — every move changes lives. This is not just a story of one man, but of countless families who bore the weight of partition.

  Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American masters of fantasy and the supernatural.  
  Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, his health was uncertain from childhood and he led a sheltered early life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination.  
  As an adult he was retiring, almost a recluse. Tall, thin and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was much given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities.  
  Although he began to write early he had nothing published until he was in his twenties. He set many of his stories around the imaginary town of Arkham, and invented an entire mythology of his own, its core being the demoniac cult of Cthulhu, based on the lore or legend that the world was at one time inhabited by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold or were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again. 
  Since his early death in 1937 his stories have continued to attract attention and praise from an ever-growing audience.

  He’s a deli owner who had his ass handed to him by a feral cat.  
  She’s a veterinarian who’s heard about his beef stick.  
  She convinces him to give the frisky feline and her new kittens a temporary home, but can he convince her to stay once the kittens are grown? 
  Gideon: I just got my butt kicked by a seven-pound alley cat. I’m bleeding and holding claws of fury hostage in a tablecloth while we wait for the vet—a woman who takes my breath away when she enters the room. I’m thinking the bloody scratches are worth the “doctoring” I’m hoping she’ll give me. 
  Stephanie: I’ve seen a lot come through my office, but when a battle worn beefcake takes my direction and gently nurses the newborn kittens of the feral cat who just kicked his butt, I wonder if he would be as gentle with me? 
  Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy, short, contemporary romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.
