"Beautifully written love story with a perfect happy ever after." Elizabeth Lennox
First Love has never been more intense, more heartbreaking and oh so worth it! When Lia locks eyes with gorgeous genius, Devraj across a London university crowd, their lives change forever. Will their families and friends succeed in breaking them up?
This amazing, insightful debut novel is a stand-alone romance with a gauranteed great happy-ever-after.
FIRST LOVE...
It's love at first sketch for shy, sheltered art major Lia Abraham, when she meets the Bollywood-gorgeous Devraj Shah at a London university. But she refuses to show her undeniable attraction to the gregarious genius, who is being groomed for his family business empire. Nothing can stand between her and her dreams of traveling and teaching art across Europe. No taking risks or detours for Lia!
FIRST KISS…
The last thing Lia needs is a handsome distraction from her true love: art. Although she protests, the charming Devraj, with his dimpled grin and sparkling eyes, convinces Lia to be "just friends".
But inevitably—with one rain-soaked, sweet yet sizzling kiss—their unleashed desire becomes stronger than their cultural divides—a Hindu boy and a Jewish girl? Gods forbid!
As their friendship flares into an all-consuming passion, the growing pressure from both families changes the landscape of both their lives.
FOREVER LOVE?
Despite loving him to distraction, will Lia's gratitude to her frail grandparents, who raised her, and her loyalty to her cultural ties, force her to forsake the forbidden fruit of her love for Devraj?
Or can she stand up for her first and only love and face their uncharted future head on?

Latest 5 star Review:
"Beautifully written love story. The prose in this book is extraordinary, the emotions heart-breaking and the author leaves you hanging on the edge right to the end of the story. I could feel the characters' happiness, confusion, pain and sadness. When it rained, I felt that rain on me, when the characters were laughing, I laughed – it was really that good! I can't wait to read the next story in this book and will add Ms. Silk to my "must-buy" authors. Love her writing! Ms. Silk fills the pages with emotion – hope, happiness, sadness, guilt, joy – you will run the gamut with this book." Elizabeth Lennox, Author of the Thorpe Brothers.
The Jewish and Hindu relationship dynamics interested me, that's why I bought it. I really enjoyed the story especially how the writer seems to know what kind of obstacles young people can have. If you've ever had a first love, I think you'd really love this book. Now I can't wait to read Second Destiny. Amazon review.
5 stars: Loved loved loved loved it! What a beautiful and sensitive story describing the very different cultures that the main characters come from. The details of each and the reactions of their family members as they fall in love. What a lovely ending, too. I couldn't wait to read the Second Destiny! Ellen Cohen
