There Is No Love On Wall Street

Student Riya Jain is completely smitten by the glamorous lives of the investment bankers and decides to become an investment banker. Her sole ambition is to secure an internship and, eventually, a full-time job with the prestigious Wall Street firm Goldstein Smith. She aims to manage multi-million dollar projects, enjoy long corporate lunches and party at the hottest nightclubs in New York City.

However, Riya\'s boss is difficult; her not-so-glamourous colleagues fail miserably to live up to her image of I-bankers; and, as an intern, the stresssful hours of work make her realise that the job was nothing like she had thought. She meets Gautam Pandey, I-banker-turned-financial-journalist, and seems to be the only contented one around. Now Riya has to decide where her happiness lies.

The Great Indian Love Story

The Great Indian Love Story is set in a world where appearances mean. There’s no love in a world that revolves around the latest Ferraris, the hottest nightclubs, diamonds, single malts, cocaine and ecstasy. In this whirl of wild parties, sex and drugs we meet Serena Sharma who lives her life one debauched night at a time, always falling for the wrong men. Her life is a rollercoaster ride: her father’s death followed by her mother’s remarriage, a broken heart and a lost love. Adding to this is her torrid affair with Amar Khanna—a trophy husband, coke addict and serial adulterer. Riya, jaded by her unsuccessful attempt to find a job in America, returns to Delhi to find the city of her childhood changed beyond recognition. Striking an unlikely friendship with Serena, Riya finds her complacent torpor shattered.

What Would You do To Save The World

Riya always hoped to win the Miss Indian Beauty crown. But when she finally participates in the beauty pageant Riya is in for a dose of reality, as she finds herself in the company of 22 gorgeous girls, under house arrest in a five-star hotel in Mumbai for a rigorous training session that will test them all to their limits. With each girl’s eyes set on the crown, the mood is emotionally charged and the atmosphere intense, exhilarating, vicious and explosive. This novel reveals the dust behind the diamonds, the tears behind the plastic smiles, and dishes the dirt on what really goes on behind the scenes of a beauty pageant.
