Title: The Coordinates
Level: Upper-Intermediate (B2-C1)
Description
Bush pilot Kate Larsen has flown plenty of strange charter requests, but nothing quite like this one: a passenger who pays cash, gives coordinates instead of a destination, and refuses to explain why he needs to reach an empty stretch of Alaskan wilderness with no village, airstrip, or settlement anywhere nearby.
When a sudden storm forces them down together on a remote gravel bar, Elliot Voss's careful evasiveness finally cracks, revealing a secret he's spent six years and most of his savings chasing — one that has nothing to do with wildlife surveys or research grants, and everything to do with a mystery that has haunted his family for over two decades.
The Coordinates is a tense, atmospheric adventure set across Alaska's vast, unforgiving Brooks Range, following two strangers thrown together by weather and united, eventually, by a search that matters more than either of them initially lets on. Written for upper-intermediate and advanced English learners, it builds toward a discovery both harrowing and deeply moving.

Title: The Words Between Us
Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)
Description
Arjun Mehta has never written anything more personal than an engineering report, and now his family's arranged match with Priya Rao requires him to court a woman he's never met through months of letters, before either family arranges their first formal meeting. Terrified and completely out of his depth, he accepts quiet help from his sister to find his footing — never expecting how quickly that help would stop being necessary.
By the time Arjun and Priya finally meet in person, months of honest correspondence have already built something neither of them fully expected from an arranged match. But one careless comment at the family lunch threatens to unravel everything — leaving Priya to wonder whether the person she fell for through his letters is real at all.
The Words Between Us is a warm, gentle romance about finding your own voice and being loved for it. Set between Mumbai and Bangalore, and written in natural, everyday English, it explores how real connection can grow through words alone — and what happens when that connection is finally, honestly tested face to face.

Title: The Box of Unfinished Dreams
Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)
Description
While clearing out an old storage room, young monk Niran discovers a carved teak box hidden behind a collapsed shelf — and inside it, a smooth grey stone that shows him someone else's dream the moment he picks it up. Days later, the vision comes true exactly as he saw it.
As Niran learns to understand the ancient artifact's true purpose, a far more dangerous vision forces him into a race against time — six days to prove, without sounding like a monk who has lost his senses, that a festival crowded with pilgrims stands in real and immediate danger.
The Box of Unfinished Dreams is a gentle, thoughtful fantasy set within a Thai temple community, exploring faith, responsibility, and the courage it takes to act on a warning before proof arrives to justify it. Written in clear, natural English, it builds steadily toward a tense, meaningful resolution about what it truly means to serve as a guardian.

Title: The Marchand Case
Level: Upper-Intermediate (B2-C1)
Description
Private detective Jack Doucet has heard plenty of lies in his career, but few as smooth as the one Foster Callahan tells him about his missing fiancée. Cold feet, Callahan claims. A simple case of a runaway bride, four days before the wedding. Jack doesn't buy it for a second.
As Jack digs through New Orleans's French Quarter in search of Elise Marchand, he uncovers a trail of fear, hidden financial records, and a silent business partner with considerably more to lose than a broken engagement. The deeper he investigates, the clearer it becomes: his own client is the reason Elise disappeared in the first place — and finding her might be the only thing standing between her and real danger.
The Marchand Case is a fast-paced noir mystery soaked in New Orleans atmosphere, blending genuine suspense with a slow-building romance between a detective who reads lies for a living and a woman who's finally ready to stop running. Written for upper-intermediate and advanced English learners, it moves briskly toward a satisfying reveal — and a rescue neither of them saw coming.

Title: The Nereid of Kymos Bay
Level: Intermediate (B1-B2)
Description
Yannis has fished the waters around his small Greek island his whole life, watching the catches grow smaller each season. Then one morning, his net pulls up something impossible: an injured nereid, tangled and bleeding, unlike anything from the old folktales he assumed were just stories.
What begins as a quiet act of kindness grows into an unlikely friendship — and a secret Yannis must protect from a greedy local merchant determined to profit from whatever he's hiding near the northern caves. But when an unnatural storm threatens to destroy the island's entire fishing fleet in a single afternoon, that secret becomes the only thing standing between the village and disaster.
The Nereid of Kymos Bay is a warm, adventurous fantasy set on a sun-drenched Greek island, blending old mythology with a very real story about friendship, greed, and community. Written in clear, natural English, it builds toward a thrilling, heartfelt rescue and a resolution that changes the island's fortunes for good.
