Heartbreak, healing, and a dash of revenge come together in this soul-searching, spice-filled journey through India from beloved author Arielle Ford.

When chef Holly’s carefully built life unravels—first through a painful betrayal, then a near-fatal accident—she’s left reeling, uncertain of everything she once believed in, including love.



Reluctantly making her way to India, Holly hopes only for quiet and a little distance from her pain. But what she finds is something else entirely: unexpected moments of insight, unlikely friendships, and the stirring return of her own strength. As she slowly pieces herself back together—with the help of wise teachers, memorable meals, and a dash of poetic justice—Holly begins to glimpse a life richer than the one she lost.



Inspired by true events,

The Love Thief

is a page-turning ride through heartbreak, healing, and unexpected transformation. With surprise twists, a juicy revenge subplot, and irresistible recipes—from killer Masala Chai to paneer-stuffed cheeseburgers—this novel is a feast for the senses and the spirit.



Perfect for romantics, seekers, and food lovers alike,

The Love Thief

is Arielle Ford at her boldest, funniest, and most inspiring—ideal for fans of Alka Joshi, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Christina Lauren.

Benjamin ★★★★★

I picked this up for a long flight and ended up ignoring the movies entirely. Holly's journey through India had me craving the food and feeling every bit of her revenge arc.

Amelia ★★★★★

The first chapter broke my heart and the last one put it back together. Holly's journey through India had me craving street food at 2am, and the revenge subplot was way more satisfying than I expected. Finished it in two sittings and already lent it to my sister.

Joseph ★★★★★

I picked this up expecting a light romance and ended up staying awake till 2am because I couldn't leave Holly mid-spiral in India. The food descriptions alone made me order takeout twice, and the revenge thread was way more fun than I anticipated.
