Book Description
A bargain that was all business . . . and pure passion. Neither wealth nor beauty will help Lady Francesca Gordon win custody of her young niece Georgina, saving the girl from a cruel stepmother; she needs London’s top solicitor for that. But when Edward de Lacey, son of the powerful Duke of Durham, hires away the one man who can do the job, Francesca decides Edward himself must champion her case . . . if only she can melt the dashing lord’s stony heart. Edward has reason to be guarded, though. London’s tabloids have just exposed a secret that could ruin his entire family. When Francesca offers a unique chance to undo the damage, Edward is forced to agree to a partnership . . . and now, each moment together feeds the flames of his scandalous longing for the passionate widow. But when Georgina disappears, fate will test them both . . . and leave their love hanging in the balance.

Book Description
Have sex with a stranger in a foreign country. It was on my list. It was something I'd never done before and I wasn't sure if I could go through with it. But I did. Don't tell him anything about yourself. No names. No personal information. Nothing. It's all about the thrill. The mystery man. Keep him a stranger. That one night was the best night of my entire life. He was sexy, intense, and made me feel things I had never felt before. The next morning, the thrill was over and he was gone before I woke up. What happened in London should have stayed in London, but it didn't. I was never supposed to see him again, but the universe had other plans and now my happy little world was turned upside down by a man named Sebastian Bennett. She refused to tell me her name. Normally, I wouldn't care. But something inside me needed to know who she was. She was stunningly beautiful and a name would complete her. It didn't matter anyway. In the morning, I'd be gone before she woke up and I'd never see her again. It was probably for the best anyway. I would hurt her and she would ultimately hate me. It's what I did. It's all I knew. I was never supposed to see her again, but I did, and my desire for her was stronger than before. I had money, looks, and a heart made of pure stone. She deserved better than me and I knew it, but I couldn't stay away. Chloe Kane left an imprint on my soul and now my life would never be the same all because of One Night in London.

Book Description
A Night in London chronicles the diverse and often conflicting emotional, ideological and political aspirations of an entire generation of Indian students in Europe. The novella sheds light on the dynamics of late imperial culture-English working-class politics, anti-colonial sentiment and race relations-like no other sustained narrative by an expatriate Indian author of the same period. Long considered a landmark in twentieth-century Urdu fiction, A Night in London is being made available in English for the first time in a translation by Bilal Hashmi. The volume also features an introduction by Carlo Coppola, a noted scholar and critic of Urdu literature.

To the outside world, they were American icons. But in that hotel room, here were four men who understood each other and their moment in history in a way that no one else could.
