Spicy Solitude

A steamy grumpy-sunshine, forced-proximity romance novella

One cabin. One bed. One wild, unexpected spark between a runaway bride and the reclusive heir hiding in the Canadian Rockies.

Priya Malhotra thought solitude would bring clarity.

After calling off her arranged marriage and fleeing the whispers of her upper-middle-class Indian family, she heads for a soul-searching hike in the Canadian Rockies—only to get caught in a blizzard and separated from her group.

Her accidental rescue? A grumpy, off-grid lodge owner with zero interest in company.

Aiden Shaw prefers pine trees to people and silence to small talk.

Estranged from his wealthy hotelier father, Aiden has built a life of intentional isolation—until a stubborn, chai-loving stranger shows up half-frozen on his doorstep.

Letting her stay breaks all his rules. Wanting her breaks even more.

Priya knows she shouldn't fall for the mountain man who won't talk about his past, but every shared glance chips away at her defenses.

Aiden can't stop thinking about the vibrant woman bringing warmth and Wi-Fi cravings into his quiet world—but letting her in means revealing who he really is... and what he’s running from.

Can two wounded hearts find peace—not just in the wild, but in each other?

Spicy Solitude is a grumpy-sunshine, forced-proximity romance filled with emotional heat, hidden identities, and slow-burn chemistry that explodes into something unforgettable.

First in the series of Spicy Affairs novels.
