  Desperate to avoid being trapped into marriage by the lovely but scheming Lady Charlotte Denington, the handsome young Duke of Ingleby is relieved to be sent on a special secret mission for the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon.
   
   He is to find and if he is in time to save an ancient Buddhist Temple on the island of Java from desecration and looting by the Dutch who are the Rulers of the country at the time.
   
   Travelling incognito and posing as an English tourist keen to photograph the delightful scenery of Java, the Duke unexpectedly meets a beautiful and ethereal young woman called ‘Sarida’ at the Temple’s portal.
   
   Although clearly English, Sarida bears this Javanese name and is attuned to Javanese culture. Indeed she believes fervently in the Buddha.
   
  The Duke is entranced and then enthralled when he discovers that he and she bear an uncanny resemblance to the sculpted portrayals of a Javanese King and Princess in the depths of the Temple.
   
  It is as if they have been together and loved each other in another life. Even without speaking they both understand that this is what the Buddhists have always called The Wheel of Rebirth. 
   
  And, as together they face terrible danger, it is immediately obvious that the attraction between them is too powerful to resist.
   
   It is all an essential part of the Divine power of the Temple of Love

  Twenty generations ago, the Sun burnt the Earth. Men have been walled in ever since. Until a kid finds the truth. 
  In a world where sunlight is forbidden and truth is heresy, one young man’s curiosity will either liberate humanity – or destroy everything he loves. 
  For twenty generations, humanity has hidden in viewless corridors, told that the Sun above has burned all life from the Earth. Boz has never questioned the Tenets that govern every aspect of their existence – until he meets Mozart the Heretic, whose disfigured face tells a different story about what really happened to those who sought the truth. 
  When Mozart reveals that the surface world still thrives in secret paradise, Boz faces an impossible choice: remain safely ignorant in his prison, or risk everything to discover what lies beyond the forbidden exits. Driven by his love for Flox, a remarkable young woman from the violent outer corridors, Boz embarks on a perilous journey through pitch-black tunnels toward the mythical ‘Land of Without’ for a mission as yet unknown to him. 
  What he finds shatters everything he believed. The surface world is not only habitable but beautiful – a garden paradise where the privileged few enjoy nature’s bounty while millions remain trapped below in ignorance. But when Boz learns the true, appalling content of his mission outside, he must choose between the liberation of his people and the virginity of his own conscience. In a world where every freedom demands a sacrifice, how do you choose between love and justice – especially when you’re no longer sure which is which?

  ⭕ A strong female lead 
  ⭕ Magical realism 
  ⭕ Contemporary women’s fiction 
  ↓ 
  Navigating the intricacies of life and self-identity is an eternal quest that literature often delves into, but rarely do we come across a book that so profoundly captures this voyage with such ethereal elegance as Maya Realm's "Roam Within: Macallah and the White World of Light." 
  From the outset, Realm pulls us into Macallah's enigmatic world—a blend of the familiar and the fantastical, wrapped in luminous prose and intricate narrative layers. As Macallah embarks on her journey towards self-discovery, we find ourselves taken along, feeling each emotion, traversing each trial, and rejoicing in every triumph. The book operates not just as a story, but as a mirror reflecting the universal complexities of the human experience. Issues of identity, purpose, and relational dynamics are tackled with both sensitivity and insight, giving readers ample food for introspection. 
  It's a rare novel that urges readers to pause, reflect, and perhaps even reassess their own trajectories, and "Roam Within" does this effortlessly. 
  Nevertheless, "Roam Within: Macallah and the White World of Light" stands as a literary beacon, illuminating the intricacies of the soul. Maya Realm has not just penned a novel; she has crafted a spiritual journey. Dive in, and you might just find reflections of your own soul shimmering in Macallah's world of light. A resounding triumph in contemporary literature!

  Summer Mackenzie's high-school sweetheart shattered her heart years ago when he betrayed her. Now he's a world-famous rock star and the last thing she wants is to see him again when her life is crumbling around her. 
   
   
   
  Forgetting what he did is impossible. Ignoring the way he still makes her feel is a losing battle. 
   
   
   
  Saying yes when he throws her a lifeline that will mean living and working closer to him? That would be crazy . . . 
   
   
   
  Noah Taylor has spent the last decade living life to the fullest. As drummer for Fractured, he's got everything he could ever want. But seeing Summer again reminds him of a time when she had been everything he wanted. That was until she'd made a decision that had torn his heart to shreds. 
   
   
   
  He shouldn't care that her life has imploded. He shouldn't try to help her. 
   
   
   
  And he definitely shouldn't start remembering how good they used to be together . . . 
   
   
   
  Their chemistry might be undeniable, but second chances don't come easy. After all, shattered hearts can be mended, but trust, once broken, might just stay broken forever.
