The Journey of a Romance Writer
Adite Banerjie, author of recently released Mills & Boon novel, The Indian Tycoon’s Marriage Deal, talks to Rhea Dhanbhoora about her journey from being a fan of the series to an author under the romance label
Born and brought up in Mumbai, Adite read her first Mills & Boon romance in school. Anne Mather was one of her favourite authors and she and her school friends would giggle about the ‘hot scenes’ in the steamy novels. She even admits to being one of the several girls in love with the TDH...

Love with a Dash of Revenge
If love makes the world go round, surely revenge would make it stop in its axis?
Both are powerful emotions—though love is a positive force and revenge its complete antithesis. And like every negative force revenge can provide huge motivation. Especially when you are a victim of injustice. After all, none other than William Shakespeare wrote in The Merchant of Venice, “…if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?” Read my guest post for Mills & Boon here…

The Making of an Accidental Author
Here’s a blog post that I wrote for RomanceUniversity.org
Accidents happen and I simply love them. Wait a minute. Before you decide I’m some kind of adrenaline junkie who jumps in front of speeding trains to get her daily risk fix, stop right there. I don’t mean the nasty, depressing, life-changing kind of accidents but the happy, inspiring, life-changing ones.
One such accident happened to me eighteen months ago when I found my name listed as one of three winners of the Harlequin Mills & Boon...

Reviews of “The Indian Tycoon…”
Rubina Ramesh gives The Indian Tycoon’s Marriage Deal 5 stars!
She writes:
“Being a Mills and Boon story, I was sure of the happy ending. But as a reader I was pleasantly surprised that instead of emotions cooling down by the end of the tenth chapter, new twists and turns kept me glued to the story.”
And… “(Adite’s) words have a way of playing the scene in front of the reader. Her play with words has the capability to evoke your senses.”
Thank you, Rubina! So deligh...

Excerpt #1 from my new book
All Maya wanted was revenge until she found desire! Excerpt:
She scanned the Ballroom looking for her quarry and couldn’t help notice that the choice of floral decoration was the exquisite lavender rose. A sharp pang twisted through her, reminding her of Papa, who had perfected the art of growing these beautiful, exotic flowers. She reached out to touch a delicate petal. The presence of Papa’s special flower was like a good omen; as if he was watching over her. She felt lucky tonight.
“Beautifu...

An Alpha Indian Tycoon, Anyone?
USA Today best-selling author Nicola Marsh, who has published 40 books and sold over 4 million copies worldwide, has hosted a guest post by me on her blog. Thanks, Nicola, for the honour and privilege!
