Final Stop

Evelyn Hart has three facts about the day she was born: a date, a city, and the name of a temple. Twenty-three years and one flight later, she's finally going to Varanasi to find out what they mean.

She doesn't expect to collide literally with a stranger on a crowded platform hours before discovering they're on the same train to the same impossible city.

Ethan Kapoor isn't supposed to fall for anyone. Not with the debt he's still paying off, the past he's still outrunning, and the men who don't let people like him walk away. But six days with Evelyn undo years of careful distance and when a stolen phone cuts them off without warning, he realizes he's already lost the one good thing his old life never touched.

A year, one DNA match, and one impossible reunion later, they're finally choosing each other right as the debt Ethan thought he'd escaped comes due, on the one night a year Varanasi sets a thousand lamps adrift on the river.

Some things the water takes and never gives back. Some things return to you changed.

Final Stop is a slow-burn, India-set romantic suspense about the families we're given, the families we find, and how far two people will go to choose each other twice.
