Publisher Description
This slow burn romance featuring a hilarious puppy prom and delightful matchmaking schemes is “a fun, lighthearted binge from page one.” (USA Today)
Kamila's life might not be perfect, but, whew, it’s close. She lives a life of comfort, filled with her elaborate Bollywood movie parties, a dog with more Instagram followers than most reality stars, a job she loves, and an endless array of friends who clearly need her help finding love. In fact, Kamila is so busy with her friends’ love lives, she’s hardly given any thought to her own . . .
Fortunately, Kamila has Rohan. A longtime friend of the family, he’s hugely successful, with the deliciously lean, firm body of a rock climber. Only lately, Kamila’s “harmless flirting” with Rohan is making her insides do a little bhangra dance.
But between planning the local shelter’s puppy prom, throwing a huge work event, and proving to everyone that she’s got it all figured out, Kamila isn’t letting herself get distracted—until her secret nemesis returns to town with an eye for Rohan. Suddenly, it seems like the more Kamila tries to plan, the more things are starting to unravel—and her perfectly ordered life is about to be turned upside down.

A vibrant depiction of the South Asian community in Ontario, Canada, and an endearing cast led by a Bollywood-loving hero and a fashionista heroine set Heron's retelling of Jane Austen's Emma apart from the pack. Family friends Kamila Hussain and Rohan Nasser have known each other most of their lives. Now that Kamila's sister, who's married to Rohan's brother, has moved away, Rohan's taken on a much larger role in helping Kamila care for her ailing father. Though Kamila delights in matchmaking for her friends, her own personal life is a whirlwind between her volunteer work, familial obligations, and career, with no room for love. The return of her longtime nemesis, Jana, only complicates her life further—especially when Jana seems to set her cap for Rohan. Through a series of revelations, Kamila comes to reevaluate her life and recognize the love that's been right in front of her all along. Heron (Accidentally Engaged) enhances the romance with an exploration of familial expectations and Kamila's conflicting desire to both fulfill and defy her father's wishes. Both Austenites and movie fans who fondly remember Clueless will be delighted.
