Preorder Reclaiming Karma Now

Read Kareena and Zayn's high school romance in the prequel, His Karma, found in the To LA with Love charity Anthology

Coming November 6th

It should’ve been easy—a pretend engagement and everyone gets what they want, right? But what happens when former high school sweethearts turned fake fiancés fall for each other … all over again?

Kareena Sharma has always been a people pleaser. As the eldest daughter, being compliant was always the easier choice. From following her father’s footsteps as a physician, to her arranged marriage, and then motherhood, it was manageable as the big decisions were made for her. But when her life derails, first by her husband’s death, and then by a mandated sabbatical from work, she knows she needs to sift through the mess her life has become and find change. When her parents decide that remarrying is the answer, she realizes being a people pleaser doesn’t work for her anymore. What she needs is a way to disappear from meddling family members and their attempts at setting her up with suitable candidates (spoiler: they’re all awful matches). Either that … or fake an engagement…
Famous chef, Zayn Stavros, has always lived life trying to prove himself. Academics never came easily for him—a failing in the eyes of his family with their esteemed Greek shipping empire, Stavros Titans International. So when he has a chance to finally make his dreams come true from a family inheritance, he can’t wait to begin the rest of his life. His vision for a unique restaurant experience will have people flocking from all over to taste his food. There’s only one catch: to collect his inheritance, he has to be engaged. A run-in with a high school flame gives him an idea. It’s crazy, sure, but it might just work. What if they fake an engagement? He gets his inheritance; she gets all of her meddling family members off her back.
But what starts as pretending blurs into reality when their past reveals a profound connection they’d forgotten existed. Keeping things black and white isn’t so easy as feelings resurface, and their passion reawakens. Is it possible for two people to reclaim the past and start anew, even if their family gets in the way … again?

From the brilliance of autumn in New York to Greece’s stunning seaside dotted with ancient ruins, this second-chance romance will take you on a fake-engagement, former sweethearts adventure so steamy, angsty, and passionate, you’ll want your tray table stowed and your seat belt fastened.
