TEA for TWO
A Mumbai software developer and a commitment-phobic Houston entrepreneur collide — and neither walks away unchanged.
Overview
Tania Sharma has strong opinions about men like Jack Sherman. The Houston entrepreneur is commitment-allergic, moves through relationships without slowing down, and operates with the cool efficiency of someone who treats people as resources. Tania, a software developer from Mumbai navigating her first days in a new city, wants nothing to do with him — until a stormy night forces the issue and the chemistry between them refuses to behave.
Manasi Diwakar builds the novel around a familiar tension: Tania has a launch deadline and an exit plan; Jack has walls up for reasons he won't name; and the hotel where she ends up as his guest turns every day into a test of resolve neither of them is quite passing. Tantalizing moments and genuine misunderstandings keep undercutting the distance both of them are trying to maintain.
The question the book holds open is not whether they fall in love — it is whether Jack can trust it enough to stay.
Tania has no tolerance for men like Jack Sherman, a ruthless entrepreneur from Houston who is commitment-challenged and goes through women like candy bars. But when Jack helps her on a stormy night on her first day in Houston, she cannot resist their sizzling chemistry. Circumstances compel her to be a guest at Jack's hotel. Determined, she sets a goal to get out of the place as soon as her software is launched and before her heart is lost to this difficult man. Amidst tantalizing kisses, conflicting emotions, and misunderstanding, will they find love? Will Jack trust his heart to take a chance? And will love be enough?
