An "it" couple's breakup becomes a sporting event in a deliciously
charming novel about the games people play in the name of love.
First, math genius and gamer-nerd Samaya gets dumped by her
boyfriend. Then he sabotages her job and hooks up with her frenemy.
What could be worse? Clearly, her golden-boy ex is winning the
breakup. The only way Samaya can get some rebound cred is to find
someone new. Even if she has to fake it. At a volunteer bake sale,
Samaya meets a sweet opportunity. Daniel is a handsome hockey jock
and a whiz when it comes to lemon squares and brownies. And he
agrees to play along. Quid pro quo. He'll pretend to be the
boyfriend of her dreams if Samaya helps him pass calculus. This may
well be the recipe for the best revenge, but Samaya has no idea how
complicated it will get. As they whip up an imitation romance, and
a bumbleberry pie, resisting each other's very real charms proves
impossible. Samaya finds herself on an unexpected journey of
secrets, self-discovery, and the true meaning of moving on.

Life is full of surprises in a winning novel about a girl dreaming
big during one unexpected small-town summer. When
seventeen-year-old aspiring designer Tahira Janmohammad's coveted
fashion internship falls through, her parents have a Plan B. Tahira
will work in her aunt's boutique in the small town of Bakewell, the
flower capital of Ontario. It's only for the summer, and she'll get
the experience she needs for her college application. Plus her best
friend is coming along. It won't be that bad. But she just can't
deal with Rowan Johnston, the rude, totally obsessive garden-nerd
next door with frayed cutoffs and terrible shoes. Not to mention
his sharp jawline, smoldering eyes, and soft lips. So irritating.
Rowan is also just the plant-boy Tahira needs to help win the
Bakewell flower-arranging contest-an event that carries clout in
New York City, of all places. And with designers, of all people.
Connections that she needs! No one is more surprised than Tahira to
learn that floral design is almost as great as fashion design. And
Rowan? Turns out he's more than ironic shirts and soil under the
fingernails. Tahira's about to find out what she's really made
of-and made for. Because here in the middle of nowhere, Tahira is
just beginning to bloom.

Sharma Jane Austen's Emma goes Bollywood in this delightful
retelling, perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and Jasmine Guillory.
Kamila's life might not be perfect, but, whew, it's close. She
lives a life of comfort, filled with elaborate Bollywood movie
parties, a job she loves and an endless array of friends who
clearly need her help finding love. In fact, Kamila is so busy with
her friends' love lives, she's hardly given any thought to her own
. . . Fortunately, Kamila has Rohan. They've known each other
forever, only lately, Kamila's 'harmless flirting' with Rohan is
making her insides do a little bhangra dance. But while she's busy
proving to everyone that she's got it all figured out, Kamila can't
let herself get distracted - until her secret nemesis returns to
town with an eye for Rohan. Suddenly, it seems like the more Kamila
tries to plan, the more things are starting to unravel - and her
perfectly ordered life is about to be turned upside down. Praise

Is this fake engagement fool proof . . . or half-baked? When it
comes to bread, Reena Manji knows exactly what she's doing. She
treats her sourdough starters like (somewhat unruly) children. But
when it comes to Reena's actual family - and their constant
meddling in her life - well, that recipe always ends in disaster.
Now Reena's parents have found her yet another potential Good
Muslim Husband. He's the perfect, mouth-watering temptation . . .
and completely ruined by the unwelcome side dish of parental
interference. Reena refuses to marry anyone who works for her
father. She won't be attracted to Nadim's sweet charm or gorgeous
lopsided smile. That is, until the baking opportunity of a lifetime
presents itself: a couples' cooking competition with the prize of
her dreams. Reena will do anything to win - even asking Nadim to
pretend they're engaged. But when it comes to love, baking your
bread doesn't always mean you get to eat it too. Praise for
