This book includes eleven incredible and magnificent love stories with compelling, intense and intriguing characters. These are the characters that we come across everywhere and their wonderful and untold journeys have been captured with immense delight in the form of several captivating plots.

There are stories we don't want to share or talk about due to peer pressure or the fear of backlash from society. Sometimes, the story itself is quite painful, or it is too bold and depicts the unconcealed complexities or the reality of modern times. Nonetheless, the urge to give voice to these stories are insuppressible. As Maya Angelou's said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."

We all have come across love and deception in different forms, and the most thrilling or heart-wrenching aspects of falling in and out of love are those initial waves or their meetings at the crossroads of life, which have been put forth enthrallingly.

A lady showing exemplary fortitude at the dead-end of the night or an old lady regaining her composure and surviving vicious deceit are some of the highlights.

These stories are not only about deception, retribution and hurt, but they are also about celebrating the bounties of love, friendship and hope that life has to offer.
