Description: Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron A delectable romantic comedy about a woman who fakes an engagement to the boy next door to enter a couples cooking contest--named one of the best romances of the year by NPR, USA Today, and Entertainment Weekly. When it comes to bread, Reena Manji knows exactly what shes doing. She treats her sourdough starters like (somewhat unruly) children. But when it comes to Reenas actual family--and their constant meddling in her life--well, that recipe always ends in disaster. Now Reenas parents have found her yet another potential Good Muslim Husband. This one has the body of Captain America, a delicious British accent, and lives right across the hall. Hes the perfect, mouthwatering temptation . . . and completely ruined by the unwelcome side dish of parental interference. Reena refuses to marry anyone who works for her father. She wont be attracted to Nadims sweet charm or gorgeous lopsided smile. That is, until the baking opportunity of a lifetime presents itself: a couples cooking competition with the prize of her dreams. Reena will do anything to win--even asking Nadim to pretend theyre engaged. But when it comes to love, baking your bread doesnt always mean you get to eat it too.

She started writing those stories down a few years ago, and never looked back. She writes romantic comedies and womens fiction full of huge South Asian families, delectable food, and most importantly, brown people falling stupidly in love. She lives in Toronto with her husband, two children, and a rabbit named Strawberry. She is considering getting a cat.
