SHIV After years of being alone and working as a hacker for corporates and the government alike, I want out. I want normal. I want roots. I'm going to be a bar owner. It's the future I never knew I wanted. I shouldn't have met Naina, my next door neighbor. She shouldn't have saved me. She definitely shouldn't want me. Because she thinks she knows me. But she doesn't. I am bad news. NAINA I have always been the ambitious, dutiful daughter to my immigrant South Asian parents. My life plan? Becoming a doctor and being independent. But I didn't count on him. My surly neighbor with pitch-black eyes that made my head spin. The first time we met, he knocked me on my ass. The second time we met, I treated his broken nose from a bike accident. Then I came to know, there was something wrong with his heart. He told me he was bad news, but I wanted him anyway. And so I crossed all the lines for him - professional, personal, sexual. But, there are some things that even a doctor can't fix. I am afraid Shiv is one of them. The past has a way of catching up with you and screwing up your present. Especially when you have secrets that just won't stay buried... does love even stand a chance? CROSSING LINES is book two of the Geeks of Caltech series.
