Can you really fall in love with a partner picked by your parents? This is the question explored in Rearranged. For the hopelessly romantic Neha Patel, the only thing worse than an arranged marriage is disappointing her parents. So when she's suddenly taken to India to meet her future husband, Neha drags along her best friend Jenny, a jaded child of divorce, to help derail the plan. What they find in India forever rearranges their understanding of the world, love and themselves.
Told from three points of view (Neha, Jenny and Anand, the boy Neha is arranged to marry), Rearranged explores cross-cultural relationships, the diversity of the Indian immigrant experience, the "forgotten" India, and the universal nature of love.

It's Not Love | ✓
[ Already Completed In Scrollstck ] Both of them were fragments of a once-whole existence, shattered by life, love, and the weight of their scars. Yet, amidst the wreckage of their hearts, a tiny spark of hope appeared- a child. Eklavya Nene, a single father navigating the stormy seas of parenthood, found himself struggling to be everything his son needed, especially the tender, nurturing presence of a mother. His divorce had left him fractured, and the idea of letting another woman into his life was daunting. But for the sake of his son, Amogh, he had to find a way. Unnati Kothari carried the weight of a troubled past, one that had led her to view men as nothing more than monsters. However, a deep-seated desire to become a mother persisted within her. When she met little Amogh through a mutual friend, her world shifted; the boy's laughter and innocence touched something in her, awakening dreams she thought she had buried forever. Brought together by the gentle nudges of friends and family, Eklavya and Unnati agreed to a marriage of convenience, each committing to the role of a parent for a child who needed more than either could provide alone. Yet, love- true, uncharted, and profound- remained an elusive mystery to them both. Could two souls so deeply marred by their pasts find the courage to trust and to heal? Would they ever allow their hearts to open and let love in, not just as parents to Amogh but as partners to each other? ------ Intended for mature readers, rated R (18+) for the subjects dealing with strong language, sexual content, abuse/ violence, and trauma. ------ One of the books from the 'Mad Love' series.
