Made in Heaven

An utterly relatable novel of family secrets and forbidden love that will have you hooked from the start!

What if Mr Rochester was Mr Raichura and Jane Eyre was Hema Pattni, a story set in South of France and England filled with East African Gujarati culture, Bollywood songs and delicious food?

Escaping her unhappy home by taking a job as an au pair, orphan Hema Pattni thinks of her new post in southern France as a dream come true. The family welcomes her with open arms, and her bright, inquisitive pupil, Amelie, is a delight. Even better, when her dashing employer, the wealthy and reticent Rahul Raichura, arrives at the estate, Hema finds herself drawn to his old-fashioned chivalry and twinkling smile. But a series of strange happenings threatens the summer's perfection as mysterious sightings of a lady in black increase. Determined to uncover the truth, Hema suspects the Raichuras may be hiding a secret – one even more serious than her own.

'A stylishly written novel full of mystery and romance - a cleverly crafted mystery with a coming of age feel to it. It's a bit of a gem. Enjoy!'
