True Love Again is a slow burn, second chance at finding love, set in the Midlands, England, between a single parent and an independent app developer, full of longing, adorable kids and opening your heart to love after grief and betrayal.
At a Gujarati wedding in North Devon, the interfering aunties are in full force, scheming and pairing off the single people. Normally Meera avoids these gatherings, but for this wedding she can’t say no.
Krishan, a widowed single parent, struggles with the idea of moving on - especially when no one can compare to his late wife. And the Aunties' suggestions for a perfect match aren't helping. Then he meets Meera.
When an accident with the floral arrangements sends the pair off on a mission for replacements they develop an easy friendship. Krishan suggests to Meera that they pretend to date for the rest of the summer's events, and she agrees as long as he promises to join as a Beta tester, for her dating and new experience app.
Krishan is reluctant, but Meera promises him it will only be a couple of times.

What Readers are saying
'I don’t think I will be the only reader following the twists and turns of Meera and Krishan’s story who will be willing these two likeable and sympathetic people to find a way to put the pain and trauma of their pasts behind them, and for their fake dating to become something more.'
'This is a beautifully written, emotionally rich novel that speaks to women who’ve been underestimated or overlooked. Meera is a compelling, relatable protagonist, and her journey feels authentic and hopeful. I loved all the little bits of culture added between the pages.'
'Really enjoyed reading this romantic British Asian story. Especially Bollywood lovers will appreciate the fun, romance, and Gujarati nuance’s. Made me laugh and imagine all the scenarios. Great light read.'
'I enjoyed reading this, especially the details about the entire Masi Mafia, and how that community's gossip can be used for both good and disastrous results.'
Reviews
'The story is beautifully written, with both highs and lows as Meera and Krishan begin the familiar dance of non-courtship, embarking on fake dating and everything that entails. Each weekend brought another event for them to attend, as they tried to convince bystanders that their affection was genuine. With some terrific supporting characters and a wealth of comedic moments, this is one of my favourite books of 2025. I encourage you to take a look.'
