"Bursting with humor, banter, and cringeworthy first dates, Sonali
Dev's The Vibrant Years is a joyful and fun read, but it's also
very much a timely tale about a group of underestimated women
demanding respect and embracing their most authentic selves."
-Mindy Kaling Living on their own terms means being there for one
another. When sixty-five-year-old Bindu Desai inherits a million
dollars, she's astounded-and horrified. The windfall threatens to
expose a shameful mistake from her youth. Desperate to keep the
secret, Bindu quickly spends it on something unexpected: a condo in
a posh retirement community in Florida. The impulsive decision
blindsides Bindu's daughter-in-law, Aly. At forty-seven, Aly still
shares a home with Bindu even after her divorce from Bindu's son.
But maybe this change is just the push Aly needs to fight for the
segment she's been promised for years at the news station where she
works. As Bindu and Aly navigate their new dynamic, Aly's daughter,
Cullie, is faced with losing the business that made her a
tech-world star. The only way to save it is to deliver a new idea
to her investors-and of course they want the half-baked dating app
she pitched them in a panic. Problem is, Cullie has never been on a
real date. Naturally, enlisting her single mother and grandmother
to help her with the research is the answer. From USA Today
bestselling author Sonali Dev comes a heartfelt novel about three
generations of hilarious, unconventional, ambitious women
navigating bad dates, a spiteful HOA board, reemerging exes, and
secrets that refuse to remain hidden. Join the Desai women on a
shared journey of self-discovery as they dare to live their most
vibrant lives.
From the author of Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors comes
another , clever, deeply layered, and heartwarming romantic comedy
that follows in the Jane Austen tradition-this time, with a twist
on Persuasion. Chef Ashna Raje desperately needs a new strategy.
How else can she save her beloved restaurant and prove to her
estranged, overachieving mother that she isn't a complete screw up?
When she's asked to join the cast of Cooking with the Stars, the
latest hit reality show teaming chefs with celebrities, it seems
like just the leap of faith she needs to put her restaurant back on
the map. She's a chef, what's the worst that could happen? Rico
Silva, that's what. Being paired with a celebrity who was her first
love, the man who ghosted her at the worst possible time in her
life, only proves what Ashna has always believed: leaps of faith
are a recipe for disaster. FIFA winning soccer star Rico Silva
isn't too happy to be paired up with Ashna either. Losing Ashna
years ago almost destroyed him. The only silver lining to this
bizarre situation is that he can finally prove to Ashna that he's
definitely over her. But when their catastrophic first meeting goes
viral, social media becomes obsessed with their chemistry. The
competition on the show is fierce...and so is the simmering desire
between Ashna and Rico. Every minute they spend together rekindles
feelings that pull them toward their disastrous past. Will letting
go again be another recipe for heartbreak-or a recipe for
persuasion...? In Recipe for Persuasion, Sonali Dev once again
takes readers on an unforgettable adventure in this fresh, fun, and
enchanting romantic comedy.
Emma gets a fresh Indian-American twist from award-winning author
Sonali Dev in her heartwarmingly irresistible Jane Austen inspired
rom com series. No one can call Vansh Raje's life anything but
charmed. Handsome-Vogue has declared him California's hottest
single-and rich enough to spend all his time on missions to make
the world a better place. Add to that a doting family and a
contagiously sunny disposition and Vansh has made it halfway
through his twenties without ever facing anything to throw him off
his admittedly spectacular game. A couple years from turning forty,
Knightlina (Naina) Kohli has just gotten out of a ten-year-long
fake relationship with Vansh's brother and wants only one thing
from her life...fine, two things. One, to have nothing to do with
the unfairly blessed Raje family ever again. Two, to bring economic
independence to millions of women in South Asia through her
microfinance foundation and prove her father wrong about, well,
everything. Just when Naina's dream is about to come to fruition,
Vansh Raje shows up with his misguided Emma Project... And suddenly
she's fighting him for funding and wondering if a
friends-with-benefits arrangement that's as toe-curlingly hot as it
is fun is worth risking her life's work for.
Award-winning author Sonali Dev launches a new series about the
Rajes, an immigrant Indian family descended from royalty, who have
built their lives in San Francisco... It is a truth universally
acknowledged that only in an overachieving Indian American family
can a genius daughter be considered a black sheep. Dr. Trisha Raje
is San Francisco's most acclaimed neurosurgeon. But that's not
enough for the Rajes, her influential immigrant family who's
achieved power by making its own non-negotiable rules: * Never
trust an outsider * Never do anything to jeopardize your brother's
political aspirations * And never, ever, defy your family Trisha is
guilty of breaking all three rules. But now she has a chance to
redeem herself. So long as she doesn't repeat old mistakes.
Up-and-coming chef DJ Caine has known people like Trisha before,
people who judge him by his rough beginnings and place pedigree
above character. He needs the lucrative job the Rajes offer, but he
values his pride too much to indulge Trisha's arrogance. And then
he discovers that she's the only surgeon who can save his sister's
life. As the two clash, their assumptions crumble like the spun
sugar on one of DJ's stunning desserts. But before a future can be
savored there's a past to be reckoned with... A family trying to
build home in a new land. A man who has never felt at home
anywhere. And a choice to be made between the two.
"Incense and Sensibility is a tender, well-crafted novel, as much
about finding purpose as it is about falling in love. Dev writes
with such rare empathy and humor that I often found myself holding
my breath on one page only to be giggling by the next. This is the
kind of book you finish with a whole-body, happy sigh and a warm
ache in your chest where the characters will live on. Yash and
India's story will stick with me for a long time."- Emily Henry,
New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read Yash Raje,
California's first Indian-American gubernatorial candidate, has
always known exactly what he wants-and how to use his privileged
background to get it. He attributes his success to a simple mantra:
control your feelings and you can control the world. But when a
hate crime at a rally critically injures his friend, Yash's easy
life suddenly feels like a lie, his control an illusion. When he
tries to get back on the campaign trail, he blacks out with panic.
Desperate to keep Yash's condition from leaking to the media, his
family turns to the one person they trust-his sister's best friend,
India Dashwood, California's foremost stress management coach.
Raised by a family of yoga teachers, India has helped San
Francisco's high strung overachievers for a decade without so much
as altering her breath. But this man-with his boundless ambition,
simmering intensity, and absolute faith in his political beliefs-is
like no other. Yash has spent a lifetime repressing everything to
succeed, including their one magical night ten years ago-a too
brief, too bright passion that if rekindled threatens to destroy
the dream he's willingly shouldered for his family and community .
. . until now.
