Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK: Neeti and Ronit unexpectedly ended up moving to the city of Indore in central India as tragedies struck their families. When Neeti got married to Ronit, all she wanted was to get away from her mentally unstable mother and get into a household that allowed her the freedom to work as a school teacher and the freedom to drive a car. In return, if she had to take care of her in-laws and manage the household, she was okay with that. Having witnessed her mother's utter inability to deal with life after her father's untimely demise, Neeti was determined to be self reliant and to never have expectations from anyone. If she didn't expect anything from anyone, she would never be disappointed, and never end up like her mother who had forgotten how to live. When Ronit got married to Neeti, he just wanted to get a daughter-in-law for his parents. His father had refused to undergo the bypass surgery that the doctor had recommended unless Ronit got married and Neeti came along at the right time. Living in a joint family setup with his parents and his younger college-going brother, Ronit was okay sharing a room with his mother's daughter-in-law. He didn't necessarily want a wife for himself. Having tried his hand at love and having failed at converting his previous year-long relationship into a love-marriage, he was not convinced that a woman could be both the wife that he wanted and the daughter-in-law that his family insisted on. Ronit and Neeti had made their expectations with regards to their marriage clear from the very beginning and in the last one year of being married they had both held up to their end of the bargain. Love was never a priority. It was something deemed so unimportant that neither of them brought it up before the wedding. Nor did they ever talk about it over the entire first year of being married. Will Neeti and Ronit continue to live in a loveless marriage, taking it simply as a responsibility? Or will love sneak up on them on a road-trip to Ranthambore? ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Venuka Goyal completed her undergraduate studies from IIT Bombay and graduated as a department topper. She didn't restrict herself to the library though. She was captain of the table tennis team, manager at the Entrepreneurship Cell and fulfilled other leadership roles during college. Upon graduation, she gave in to her curiosity towards science and ended up in the USA to pursue a PhD. She finished her PhD from The Ohio State University with flying colours. In her six year long stay abroad, she was bitten by the travel bug. She drove more than 20,000 kilometers in America on road trips. She drove down to Niagara Falls. She flew down to Florida and drove down to the Key West. On the West Coast she drove down from LA to Napa Valley to Yosemite to Death Valley. She went camping at the Yellowstone National park. After an enriching foreign exposure, Venuka returned to her roots. She has settled down in Indore, a city in central India, and teaches at a University. She is a mother to pre-school going twin boys and enjoys cooking and going on road trips with her family. Venuka Goyal has had the experience of working as a scientific researcher in India for several years and she published many papers in international scientific journals of repute. In the process of writing these technical documents she discovered her love for writing stories.

Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new steamy, STEMinist novella… Nothing like a little rivalry between scientists to take love to the next level. Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn… Logically, Sadie knows that civil engineers are supposed to build bridges. However, as a woman of STEM she also understands that variables can change, and when you are stuck for hours in a tiny New York elevator with the man who broke your heart, you earn the right to burn that brawny, blond bridge to the ground. Erik can apologize all he wants, but to quote her rebel leader—she’d just as soon kiss a Wookiee. Not even the most sophisticated of Sadie’s superstitious rituals could have predicted such a disastrous reunion. But while she refuses to acknowledge the siren call of Erik’s steely forearms or the way his voice softens when he offers her his sweater, Sadie can’t help but wonder if there might be more layers to her cold-hearted nemesis than meet the eye. Maybe, possibly, even burned bridges can still be crossed…. To read Mara and Hannah’s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof, available now, and Below Zero, coming soon from Berkley!
