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.

Determined to uncover the truth, Hema suspects the Raichuras may be hiding a secret – one even more serious than her own.

What Readers are saying.

'Made in Heaven is a beautiful love story where Difference makes no difference to Rahul Raichura. As a disabled British Asian female who also loves Jane Eyre and Bollywood, I could not have loved this book more if I tried.'

'I loved all of the language, food and culture in this book! I felt immersed in Hema's inner and outer world, and really appreciated the sensitive way in which the author wrote the relationship between four year old Amelie and the adults in the story. I would classify this as a hint-of-spice, lots of heart, and a fair bit of broody drama.'

'a book to curl up with on a rainy day - it will lift your spirits. I loved this feel good story. It is pure escapism full of characters that you’ll fall in love with.'

'loosely inspired by Jane Eyre but is far from gothic...rich in its Gujrati backdrop that is beautifully integrated into the English life and the cuisine description always left me hungry. Bonus is that the recipes are included!'
