Pride, prejudice, and other flavors - sonali dev

Award-winning author Sonali Dev launches a new series about the Rajes, an immigrant Indian family descended from royalty, who have built their lives in San Francisco.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that only in an overachieving Indian American family can a genius daughter be considered a black sheep.

Trisha Raje is San Franciscos most acclaimed neurosurgeon.

But thats not enough for the Rajes, her influential immigrant family whos achieved power by making its own non-negotiable rules: - Never trust an outsider - Never do anything to jeopardize your brothers political aspirations - And never, ever, defy your family Trisha is guilty of breaking all three rules.

But now she has a chance to redeem herself.

So long as she doesnt repeat old mistakes.

Up-and-coming chef DJ Caine has known people like Trisha before, people who judge him by his rough beginnings and place pedigree above character.

He needs the lucrative job the Rajes offer, but he values his pride too much to indulge Trishas arrogance.

And then he discovers that shes the only surgeon who can save his sisters life.

As the two clash, their assumptions crumble like the spun sugar on one of DJs stunning desserts.

But before a future can be savored theres a past to be reckoned with.

A family trying to build home in a new land.

A man who has never felt at home anywhere.

And a choice to be made between the two.
