An arranged marriage becomes inconvenient for two Sri Lankan Brits in this novel of love, family, and living your truth. Chaya is a young woman torn between her duty to family and her life in the UK. While her traditional Sri Lankan parents want her to settle down into marriage, they don’t know that Chaya, terrified of their disapproval, has turned away the one true love of her life, Noah.

But it’s getting harder and harder to turn down the potential brides his parents keep finding for him. When Chaya and Gimhana meet, a marriage of convenience seems like the perfect solution to their problems. Together they have everything – friendship, stability and their parents’ approval. But when both Chaya and Gimhana find themselves falling in love outside of their marriage, they’re left with an impossible decision – risk everything they’ve built together, or finally follow their heart? Will they choose love, or carry on living a lie? Perfect for fans of Amanda Prowse, Ayisha Malik, and Susan Lewis.
