The Letters We Keep is out today!
It is my third release of the year, and a very special one because it's Taurus season, baby.
A few years ago, my grandmother passed away and she left a stack of letters behind. She’d saved the last correspondence her mother sent her from India after she’d immigrated to New York City.
I’ve talked about my grandmother here before. About the day she died, the regrets I had, and how THE KARMA MAP, my last book with Skyscape Publishing, was the complicated relationship I had with religion in the last few months she was with us.
The letters, and the book THE LETTERS WE KEEP, honors the memories we leave behind. It’s the smudged ink that was carefully laid out with intention on aged, fragile sheets of paper, tucked into the pages of a library book.
It’s also the last contemporary romance I’ll be writing in the YA/NA space for a while. I know I’ll be back, but for now, I feel like I’ve made my peace with my youth, and I’ve had the conversations that I’ve needed to have. My next YA project is in romantasy, and even then…who knows what will happen after that?
So I hope you enjoy my hurrah-for-now to the younger me. The romantic that hoped for love in the stacks of an old university library.
THE LETTERS WE KEEP is out today in audio, paperback, hardcover, e-book and in Kindle Unlimited. You can get signed copies for a limited time if you’re in the US/CAN from my storefront.
Happy reading.
Two students―worlds apart―unite to solve the mystery of a legendary decades-old love story gone tragically wrong in a captivating romance by the award-winning author of The Karma Map and Dating Dr. Dil.
It doesn’t take long for ambitious freshman and aspiring engineer Jessie Ahuja to learn about two university legends. One is the haunted history of Davidson Tower, where more than fifty years ago, two ill-fated lovers disappeared in a devastating fire. The other is Ravi Kumar, a privileged billionaire nepo baby who’s aggravatingly charming and occupying more brain space than Jessie has room for. Things change when a campus prank locks them both in the old tower’s ghostly library.
There, Jessie finds letters from the fabled lost lovers, forgotten in a hollowed-out copy of Persuasion. One by one, the letters suck Jessie and Ravi into a beguiling mystery and an achingly beautiful long-ago romance destined to go up in flames. It’s also drawing Jessie and Ravi―every bit as star-crossed―closer together. Can they overcome whatever fate has in store for them? Or are they just as doomed as the young lovers whose tragic end has become legend?

From #1 Best-Selling Amazon author, this Noah Kahan-coded, The Notebook meets Sweet Home Alabama, contemporary romance is bound to give you all the feels.
Riggins has been in love with Stella for as long as he can remember. As kids, they’d sneak out and spend long nights under the stars writing songs together, sharing their deepest confessions, and dreaming about getting out of their small town. When his band gets a record deal and a headlining tour, he convinces her to come see the world with him, and she agrees.
It doesn’t take long before Riggins gets too far into the rockstar lifestyle, and everything begins to fall apart, including his relationship. When she leaves without a word and never looks back, it leaves him shattered, spiraling, and confused.
Until he finds out why…
Seven years ago, Stella went on tour with her childhood love. When things fell apart, it broke her, and she’s spent every moment since putting herself back together, crafting a facade that will please everyone around her while forcing herself to survive. It’s going well until one day, Riggins shows up at her house in their small town of Ashford, New Jersey, and blows her safe little world apart. Now they’re stuck piecing together their versions of the past and seeing if they can move forward.
