Heartbreak, healing, and a dash of revenge come together in this soul-searching, spice-filled journey through India from beloved author Arielle Ford.
When chef Holly’s carefully built life unravels—first through a painful betrayal, then a near-fatal accident—she’s left reeling, uncertain of everything she once believed in, including love.
Reluctantly making her way to India, Holly hopes only for quiet and a little distance from her pain. But what she finds is something else entirely: unexpected moments of insight, unlikely friendships, and the stirring return of her own strength. As she slowly pieces herself back together—with the help of wise teachers, memorable meals, and a dash of poetic justice—Holly begins to glimpse a life richer than the one she lost.
Inspired by true events, The Love Thief is a page-turning ride through heartbreak, healing, and unexpected transformation. With surprise twists, a juicy revenge subplot, and irresistible recipes—from killer Masala Chai to paneer-stuffed cheeseburgers—this novel is a feast for the senses and the spirit.
Perfect for romantics, seekers, and food lovers alike, The Love Thief is Arielle Ford at her boldest, funniest, and most inspiring—ideal for fans of Alka Joshi, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Christina Lauren.
