Today is the official release of Her Forbidden Boss by Jillian Jones (ebook and print, self-published). Here’s the blurb:
What happens when your heart’s desire is challenged by parental expectations?
When Aatmaja Rai (Maja) spurned her suitor and defied her parents by fleeing India for a job in London, she expected to return home in a year and finally accept the arranged marriage she was destined for. Four years later, she’s still enjoying her life of freedom, except she’s unintentionally fallen for her boss’s boss. A man her parents forbid her to marry.
Nikolaos Papadopoulos (Nikos) has sworn to bachelorhood, until his parents’ ultimatum that he be married within a year or he doesn’t get control of the family business. There’s only one problem—his friendship with Maja has morphed into something deeper but his parents won’t allow the union. They expect him to marry a Greek woman.
From glamorous Porto Cheli, Greece, to Mumbai, India, this is a contemporary romance about opening the door to love, crossing the threshold of friendship, and taking the leap across the cultural divide.
Jillian dropped by today to tell us a little about this book:
This is my third contemporary romance novel and by far the hardest because it took me further out of my comfort zone than the other two. It started with a bit of an obsession with Indian Matchmaking on Netflix. I became fascinated with the idea of arranged marriages, which made me ask a lot of questions, which lead to much Google searching, and Maja and Nikos’s story emerged. The other thing that’s different, aside from the obvious diversity, is writing about locations I haven’t visited but would very much like to. It’s also slightly less steamy than my first two. Anyway, it’s been fun to spend time in Maja and Nik’s world and learn all about them and their cultures. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
