They are the Tanjavur Thunders Anu, Avi, Charlie, Meher, and Shashi are childhood friends who promised to be together no matter what. But life, and adulting, got in the way and now all they have together is a text chain group. Until... Bubbly, protected Shashi Shivaramakrishnan announces her engagement to a reserved engineer, Arjun Seshadri, and her surprise promotion to Mumbai. Avi and Meher, the happiest married couple ever, are at a crossroads - Meher Raghuman wants a baby more than Avi Sreedhar. Avi's conservative Iyer parents finally love their daughter-in-law. Anu Harinandan is a quiet, demure doctor who dreams of going to the US in a few months with a secret no one knows... Her love for Charlie Thomas, the broken bad boy, the vagabond of the group who has, more or less, disappeared for the last ten years. When Shashi convinces Anu to move into a flat in the same complex as Meher, Avi, and Arjun, the Tanjavur Thunders reunite for a rocking three months. And the *galaataa* fun really begins when Charlie also comes down for their reunion. But the Thunders are kids no longer. And adult relationships come with their own baggage - secrets, lies, heartbreak and more. Can these five friends survive their reunion without losing themselves, or each other?

Hi, there I’m USA Today Bestselling Romance Author Aarti V Raman. I write all shades and forms of romance or will in the future because I suffer from writing attention deficit disorder. I must tell all the stories! So, my romances range from romantic comedy, chick lit to romantic suspense and dark romance starring tortured billionaires and suffering military types! Before I turned to writing and telling these stories full-time, I was a teacher, business journalist and editor for close to fifteen years. So my heroines are career-minded, city-living, strong-willed hot messes who still have their lives together. I believe in writing what I know and I know me best so most of these heroines are Indian (South Asian women of color). I also believe in writing more of what I want so my heroes are indecently hot, filthy rich, fiendishly smart with secret hearts of gold. Thus, the angst and steam-meter are off the charts when stubborn force meets immovable object on the way to happy ever after. So does the banter and danger, because what’s love without a little bit of jeopardy, am I right? I’m a TEDx speaker and 24 of my romances have hit the Amazon Bestseller Charts so I can also proudly call myself an Amazon 100 International Bestselling Author. My chick lit dramedy “The Worst Daughter Ever” has been optioned for screen. My bestselling Millionaire Foes series is part of the Writers on the Moon Project, on a time capsule to go to the actual moon. Most notably, I’ve been absolutely privileged to be part of two fantastic for-charity anthologies, Stand for Ukraine and Dissent. I’m also known as Writer Gal. I live in Mumbai with my large and largely loveable extended family in a version of my three favorite words – Happy Ever After.
