When Leela Rai, a talented yet restless Indian-Canadian chef, is unceremoniously fired from her prestigious restaurant in Toronto, she abandons the familiar for a crumbling church in a remote Irish village, determined to transform it into her dream restaurant.
But Ballymourne proves more resistant than she imagined: its wary townsfolk see her as an outsider, and a brooding local lawyer, Cillian O'Connor, seems bent on keeping her plans from taking root. Navigating cultural clashes, family drama, and a series of laugh-out-loud encounters—from misguided matchmaking to culinary disasters—Leela must find her footing in a place that feels both foreign and strangely familiar. Reservation for One is a witty and evocative tale of resilience, self-discovery, and finding love and belonging where you least expect it.

Anatomy of a Conquest
Coming…one day!
In a world that has outlawed magic and rewritten its own history, a dutiful young professor clings to order, discipline, and the safety of routine. But when a new faculty member arrives—an exile with a rebel’s history and a dangerously unreadable gaze—her carefully constructed world begins to fracture.
As whispered rumors of returning magic spread across the Empire, and loyalties shift within the school’s stone halls, the lines between distrust and desire begin to blur.
Set in a divided world where magic is treason and memory is dangerous, Anatomy of a Conquest is a dark academia romantasy epic about the power of propaganda, and the quiet rebellion of remembering what was lost.
