What to expect

One broken heart. One grumpy bachelor. One very sexy deal.

The laugh-out-loud romance from the author of the TikTok sensation The Dating Plan.

Celebrity-obsessed lawyer Zara Patel is the best at helping her friends find romance through the wedding season.

She's never faced a guest at the singles table she couldn't match, until she crosses paths with Jay Donovan.

Jay has no time for love, and definitely no time for a match-maker. When charismatic Zara crashes into his life, he's thrown into close contact with exactly the kind of chaos he wants to avoid. Worse, they're stuck together for the entire wedding season.

So they make a deal. She'll find his special someone if he introduces her to his celebrity clients. But when their arrangement brings them together in ways they never expected, they realise that the perfect match might just be their own.

Prepare to laugh-out-loud while reading The Singles Table
POPSUGAR
Hot, bantery, quirky as hell, and so sweetly romantic! I LOVED this book
Utterly hilarious and so, so swoony! The Singles Table is a fantastic enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine rom-com. I adorned Zara and her slightly chaotic energy, and the Indian Wedding setting is perfect escapist fun. A delightful read!
Desai does it again... Zara and Jay are a refreshingly self-aware pair, and it's eminently satisfying to see them not just address their business conflicts but seek professional psychological help... Desai's fans will be delighted.
