Book 1: Misguided Masala Matchmaker
Is it a love for the ages or just for a season….
Rohan Kapoor is the golden boy of Charlotte. As a newly minted cardiothoracic surgeon with several prestigious job offers, potential brides eagerly line up when his parents—pillars in their Indian American community—hire a matchmaker. Even his favorite cousin Rani has a plan to divine his perfect match. But Rohan’s not in the market for a bride, and then he takes a wrong turn, meeting a woman who changes the way he thinks and feels about everything.
After years of traveling and painting commissioned murals, artist Solei Beals wants to dig some roots now that she’s been hired as a high school art teacher. She meets Rohan at an art festival, and the attraction sizzles. During the festival of Holi, she admits she’s fallen in love with a man who’s made it clear he’s not free to commit beyond spring.
As summer teases, Rohan’s family obligations and expectations create a barrier Solei’s not sure he’s willing to breach, and if Rohan’s not willing to fight for her or the life he says he wants, why should she?
