This project, I believe, is one of the pieces that I am most proud of; it is sensual, realistic, heartwarming and touches you right at the heart. This book is about those who wander with confusion, not having a clear vision, do not know what to do, where to start and those who are stacked in their lives. Raghu, who runs Omega Groups, a leading startup based in Prayagraj, India, has fought a mental disorder, been through hell and survived four suicide attempts. His two friends, Guru Gopalan and Sidharth Shankar, walk in when the rest of the world walks out. This book will help you get a proper road and a clear vision of life and see how beautiful life is. People are walking around blind. If you are the one who can see, you will be able to navigate through this new world. You will be the beacon that will enhance the lives of everyone around you and, in doing so, trigger the actual law of nature that says, when you enhance everyone around you, you can’t help but enhance yourself.

Go camping, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Relaxing on Lake Travis, drinking beer, and stuffing my face with smores, was what I was hoping for. You know what they say about the best laid plans. I've caught the eye of four sexy men, though, I think they might be a few fries short of a Happy Meal. They are spewing all kinds of crazy about being werewolves and how I'm one of them. Maybe they aren't the only insane ones. Between that and the unexplainable things happening when I'm around them, I think it's safe to say sanity has left the building. Now, Cayden, Barrett, Liam, and Wyatt are taking me on what was supposed to be a road trip to figure out my past. Problem is, theirs isn't the only eye I've caught. Author's note: Since this is a series, the book does end in a cliffhanger. Don't worry, we will be putting up the second book for pre-order very soon!
