ABOUT HONEY AND HEAT:
Cynthia Kumar always wins.
She’s successful, competitive, and knows exactly what she wants: to be the heir to her father’s multimillion dollar business. Except, her father just chose his successor and it’s not her…it’s her one-night stand.
Rohit Patel can’t believe his luck.
He’s just landed the opportunity of a lifetime, his future is once again on track, and the woman he spent one steamy night with could be the love of his life. Except, she’s his new boss’s daughter and now she hates him.
When Kumar Constructions falls under scrutiny, both Cynthia and Rohit are determined to see its tarnished reputation restored to its original glory.
As they each try to swoop in and save the day, their game of one-upmanship fails spectacularly, leaving them no choice but to set their differences aside and work together. But as their partnership to save the company—and their feelings for one another—blossoms, they’ll have to decide what’s more important…their careers or love?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
A first-generation Bengali-Canadian, Aurora Palit grew up in rural Alberta, where she was always the only South Asian student in her class.
Her love of reading began at age four but it wasn’t until high school—when she wandered into the romance section of a bookstore—that she realized happily-ever-afters are her jam.
Aurora is now writing those stories with her own unique brand of humor, perspective, and belief that people of color deserve love stories too.
During her time pursuing a master's degree in English literature, Aurora was drawn to discourses on diaspora and identity, racism, and multi-generational immigrant experiences; topics she now explores in her writing.
When she’s not testing her characters’ patience, Aurora is raising small humans, roasting her spouse, prowling for chocolate, and dancing for all that she’s worth. She also spends her days adulting as a communications professional for a not-for-profit organization.
