& Then They Wed

# 2 in the Ampersand Love Series, this book can be read as a stand-alone.

Rian Shetty had a plan. His business was profitable. He was listed amongst the top up-and-coming restaurateurs in the world. He might even get a second Michelin star any day now. It was the perfect time to focus on building the culinary institute he’d been dreaming of. He had no time for the complications of love, marriage or children, no matter how much his grandmother, Nanamma, begged. Until a surprise guest, with her heart-stopping smile, filterless mouth and inescapable presence, torpedoed his life and blew his plan to smithereens.

Dr. Aditi Krishnan needed a plan. After a disastrous end to her first love and a series of coma-inducing dates, she wondered if her dreams of having her own happily-ever-after would come true. An escape from her non-existent love life comes with a career opportunity that takes her temporarily to a new city- Mumbai. Faced with a distractingly handsome host however, she begins to wonder if her plan should include a fling with the sexy chef who makes her want things she knows she can’t have.

As a tentative friendship blooms, Rian and Aditi find that best laid plans often go awry, and even temporary situations have a way of permanently altering a heart.
