Mandi: This was supposed to be my final farwell; my last night of freedom before moving back in with my conservative Punjabi parents. One night without a curfew; without any questions about where I'm going or who I'm meeting. I never expected to spend it with a man, but I'll take that too. Why not?
The only problem is, he might be a keeper and my family will never approve. They've got their hearts set on marrying me off to a suitable boy from our own community, not some white man I had a one night stand with...
Callum: I'm used to getting what I want in my professional life as well as my personal one; such is life when you're a celebrity chef. One night in Brighton shows me that sometimes it's nice to leave all that behind and focus on the basics.
Mandi doesn't seem to care that I'm rich and famous; she's just looking for one night of fun and has chosen to spend it with me. But once I've got a taste of what I could share with her, how will I be able to let her go?
This interracial/multicultural romance features a British Asian woman and her struggle between the conservative family values she grew up with and her desire to create her own future with a partner of her choice. Will she be able to leave her feelings for Callum behind and commit to the arranged marriage her parents have envisioned for her?

L. Moone is a Contemporary Romance author based in rainy England. Addicted to caffeine, chocolate and impure thoughts, she loves to write sweet yet spicy romances featuring husky men, curvy heroines and everything in between. In her world, the men are cinnamon roll sweet and the women are fierce and fabulous. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. And the only path toward happiness is the one travelled together.
*** Sweet Heroes, Sexy Books ***
"I first started writing and publishing in 2012 because I craved to see more of "my kind of books" on the shelves. In any scenario, you'll find me rooting for the underdog. The (emotionally) scarred hero who hasn't really had much luck in love and finds himself yearning for that which has so far been out of reach. The shy office worker who is too terrified to approach the big & sexy man of her dreams, until one day she decides to throw caution in the wind.
Cinnamon roll heroes are a huge part of my brand, so are independent heroines. All my characters are beautifully flawed and messed up, in a way that makes them perfect for one another. And once they get an intimate taste of the sometimes forbidden fruit, there's no turning back... Expect some drama, a sprinkling of challenging themes, as well as plenty of smexy times along the way, but the rollercoaster always leads to a heartfelt happily ever after!
Find all of the above mentioned themes in the following series I have out: Husky Men Do It Better, Coffee & Curves, and Chance Encounters. All my books can be read as stand-alones, but they'll be a lot more fun to read in series.
