Harper: I was perfectly content with my life. My career was booming. I traveled. I did as much charity work as I possibly could for the homeless, and I was perfectly happy with the choices I’d made. At least…I was–until my sister, Dani, came up missing. As an international correspondent, she traveled to war-torn countries, and she’d stepped a little too far over the line. With my sibling kidnapped and running out of time, I had no option except to approach Marcus Colter for help. Seeing Marcus again after having him break my heart over a decade ago wasn’t easy, but to my relief, the old feelings I thought I might still harbor for him were completely gone. He was like a stranger to me. After meeting with him, my only emotion was gratitude that he was going to try to rescue my sister. Before I could relax about feeling nothing for Marcus, I met Blake Colter, and realized every emotion I thought I’d have for Marcus was suddenly present for the gorgeous US senator. It was ridiculous. I hadn’t seen Blake since we were kids. How could I have given myself to Marcus so many years ago, yet have these feelings for his twin brother, Blake? The more time I spent with Blake, waiting for my sister to be rescued, the more confused I became about my attraction to him. Then, my entire world came crashing down when I found out that everything I thought was true for over a decade wasn’t the truth at all.

Of Smokeless Fire
After eleven failed pregnancy when Farhat ul Haq finally gave birth to a healthy son, Mansoor, she also gave birth to a vicious rumor that her newborn was a djinn—fiery, malevolent creatures made of smokeless fire by Allah. Her servant, Kaneez, had long-held, a deep-seated belief that Farhat’s inability to give birth had only one explanation: she had a djinn in her womb who devoured all her eleven children but had now come out in the guise of a child, to torment everyone. To make matters worse, the day of Mansoor birth is also the day when the first Prime Minister of Pakistan is assassinated. Growing up, Mansoor is caught between his devout mother and his British-educated, agnostic father who both try to mold him to their own worldview. The result: a disorienting dissonance.
