Please help us welcome Reet Singh to the blog this week. Reet is here to share her new release Satin and Sapphire, a contemporary romance. Welcome, Reet! We are so excited to hear more about Satin and Sapphire.
About Satin and Sapphire:
Danger meets delight in Asar Kalan!
Dr Danvir Sandhu has been dealt a cruel hand – his house of cards comes tumbling down when he loses, one by one, all the things that bring meaning to his life. He has barely found equilibrium when a serendipitous event brings Latika Anand into his orbit, and he struggles to stay aloof even as his heart yearns for a future with the maddeningly enticing fashion designer.
Considerably bruised after a break up that is as unexpected as it is callous, Latika is thrown into an even more precarious situation that threatens her life. Both experiences convince her to return to her roots and tackle old demons even if it means denying the attraction she feels for a certain utterly fascinating physician.
Genre: Small town, Contemporary Romance

Excerpt from Satin and Sapphire:
‘You did what?’
I moved the phone so that it was a foot away from my ear. Rammi was the kindest person, but she could be shrill when she was peeved. Right now she was very, very peeved.
‘Rammi, it’s not a big deal. I’m only going over next weekend for the cultural mela. The doc will flaunt me as his fiancee and that’ll be the end of it.’
My friend made a sound that was decidedly skeptical and I rushed in to reassure her some more.
‘Bibi said that the Sarpanch is aware of the problem and is trying to get Gurmeet married off as quick as he can. A boy is coming to see her, Rammi. She’s dancing the gidda at the mela and the young man is sure to be smitten. She’s graceful, apparently, even though she has such unfortunate manners.’
‘Why do you have to get into it, Latika? Why not keep your graceful nose out of their sordid affair?’
‘It’s not sordid and it’s not an affair – besides, I’m just returning a favor. The doc was very kind to me, and Bibi is a darling.’
Actually, the doc was also quite a darling, but I didn’t want to bring that up otherwise Rammi would fume even more – and she’d drop everything to zoom down and save me from another rash decision.
‘It’s on your head, Latika. Go if you must, but don’t do anything stupid. Oh, wait! Going off to the village is already entirely stupid, so it can only get worse…’
Author Bio:
My love affair with books began when I was a tot. A fabulous mother, who recognized the power of the written word, read to me and my sisters every night, introducing us to the wonderful world of the imagination.
Once I could read on my own, I graduated from fairy tales to adventure stories to romance, spending all my pocket money on books. My father served in the army and took the family along mostly wherever he went, resulting in experiences that beg to find a place in my books.
I am an ophthalmologist, but make time for my other passions – reading and writing, watching romantic comedies, and doing creative things with wool and a crochet hook. I enjoy working on cryptic crosswords, and playing Scrabble®. When I have no other choice, I can be found in the kitchen putting together my ‘world-famous’ one-pot meals.
Writing about love and happy endings feeds my romantic soul. ‘Scorched by His Fire’ is my first published piece of romantic fiction, and is courtesy of Mills and Boon® India’s Passions Contest which I won in 2013. ‘The Cure was Love’, also from Mills and Boon® India, released in November 2014.
I have since transformed into an Indie author, and my Indie offerings are ‘No Escape from Love’ and ‘Take One Fake Fiance’.
The recently released ‘Satin and Sapphire’ – also Indie published – is the first time I have written a turbaned hero and used first-person point-of-view.
Read about my books and my experiences on my website. Hearing from readers is thrilling, so do consider writing a review to let me know what you thought of my book(s) on Goodreads and on Amazon.
Dear Maddy – so thrilled to see Danvir and Latika here – thanks for featuring them!
