When the baker almost kills New York’s prodigal son… Mason Jones-Tarrant is fiercely loyal to the powerful Jones-Tarrant clan. As Head of PR, it is Mason's job to keep the multi-billion family business scandal-free. But, this British bad boy has a problem! The paparazzi hound his every move - from messy breakups to the boardroom - ever since one anonymous gossip columnist set up shop in Manhattan. So Mason comes up with a genius plan to clean up his image and get the blogger off his back. Propose to the first 'eligible' woman to cross his path. He doesn't expect her to be a sweet, tempting baker. Shruti Merchant did not think fighting for her dream meant protesting Tarrant Inc. Publicly. Almost naked. She wants to run a South Asian fusion dessert cafe on Atlantic City's famed boardwalk. Not run over a man she wants to take a bite out of, like he's the last motichoor laddoo cookie. Mason needs a temporary fiancée and Shruti needs the enemy's grandpa to listen to her. So they strike an unholy deal. Work together. Pretend to be engaged to each other. Keep their hands off each other. But some deals are made to be broken, aren't they? Especially when the reward could be happy ever after...

Hi, there I’m USA Today Bestselling Romance Author Aarti V Raman. I write all shades and forms of romance or will in the future because I suffer from writing attention deficit disorder. I must tell all the stories! So, my romances range from romantic comedy, chick lit to romantic suspense and dark romance starring tortured billionaires and suffering military types! Before I turned to writing and telling these stories full-time, I was a teacher, business journalist and editor for close to fifteen years. So my heroines are career-minded, city-living, strong-willed hot messes who still have their lives together. I believe in writing what I know and I know me best so most of these heroines are Indian (South Asian women of color). I also believe in writing more of what I want so my heroes are indecently hot, filthy rich, fiendishly smart with secret hearts of gold. Thus, the angst and steam-meter are off the charts when stubborn force meets immovable object on the way to happy ever after. So does the banter and danger, because what’s love without a little bit of jeopardy, am I right? I’m a TEDx speaker and 24 of my romances have hit the Amazon Bestseller Charts so I can also proudly call myself an Amazon 100 International Bestselling Author. My chick lit dramedy “The Worst Daughter Ever” has been optioned for screen. My bestselling Millionaire Foes series is part of the Writers on the Moon Project, on a time capsule to go to the actual moon. Most notably, I’ve been absolutely privileged to be part of two fantastic for-charity anthologies, Stand for Ukraine and Dissent. I’m also known as Writer Gal. I live in Mumbai with my large and largely loveable extended family in a version of my three favorite words – Happy Ever After.
