How to Be a Heartbreaker

In this contemporary romance by bestselling authors Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé & Adiba Jaigirdar , a hotel heiress and the son of a caterer develop feelings for each other as his family works to cater a big celebrity wedding and she secretly works to put a stop to the wedding. For Karim Zaman, life is like the Bollywood movies he loves watching with his nanu. Sure, his family runs a catering/divorce/funeral business, but he still gets caught up in the movies’ big dance numbers and sweeping declarations of love. He can’t believe it when his family is hired to cater the wedding of a famous Bollywood actress to and Afrobeats superstar. And with Karim’s family struggling to make ends meet ever since his father’s death, this wedding would be life-changing for them. Things cannot go wrong. Nairobi Yusef may be the heir to a large hotel fortune, but her life is nothing like a movie. She spends most of her time in the London branch of her dad’s hotel chain alone and unsure what to do with herself. And with the way she’s seen relationships crash and burn, she’s not exactly looking forward to her cousin Musa’s—or Oga Suya as his fans know him—wedding. When she overhears something that makes it clear his fiancé has ulterior motives, Nairobi realizes this wedding cannot happen. With multiple pre-wedding events leading up to the big day, the two teens’ paths keep crossing while Nairobi works to keep her cousin from saying I do (unbeknownst to anyone) and Karim works to make sure things go perfectly. They may be focused on the wedding, but they can’t help notice their growing feelings for one another. Will Nairobi’s meddling with the impending wedding tear them apart? Or will they get their sweet Bollywood movie ending?
