Love Craves Cardamom — Aashna Avachat

This second, swoony romance in the Love in Translation series follows art enthusiast and recently single Archi Dhawan to India, where she comes to find that the first boy to give her butterflies again is not who he says he is.

Archana Dhawan wants a boy-free zone this semester abroad. Fresh off a breakup, she's headed to Rajasthan, India -- her parents' homeland -- determined to find herself and thrive at her dream art museum internship. No drama. No distractions.

Alas, the universe is trying to tempt her. On day one, she meets the hottest boy on the train. Soon after, she runs into him again at work. Not only is the museum tied to a palace, but the cute guy, Shiv, is a royal gardener! 

As he takes her to the most gorgeous local spots, their undeniable chemistry grows. Then Archi gets shocking news: Shiv is not who he seems. Now she's left wondering -- was this brush with love the beginning of something warm and complex or just another bittersweet end?
