LOVE CRAVES CARDAMOM
Coming May 20, 2025 from Random House / Joy Revolution
This second, swoony romance in the Love in Translation series follows art enthusiast and recently single Archi Dhawan to India, where she comes to find that the first boy to give her butterflies again is not who he says he is.
Archana Dhawan’s senior year is a boy-free zone. Hot off a break-up, she’s determined to find herself in her parents’ homeland of Rajasthan, India. More importantly, she must complete her capstone project by interning at one of the most prestigious art galleries in the country. On day one, she meets the most attractive boy she’s seen ever on the train to her new school. Then she runs into him again at work. As it turns out, not only is the museum connected to a palace, but the cute boy, Shiv, is a royal gardener! He offers to show her the real city of Jaipur, from fresh food that he cooks to local spots tourists never visit. Their chemistry is undeniable, and just as she begins to open up to the idea of romance, she gets shocking news that thrusts Archi into the spotlight herself. As an aspiring art curator, is she prepared to be the one on display?​
