Synopsis

Heartbreak, healing, and a dash of revenge come together in this soul-searching, spice-filled journey through India from beloved author Arielle Ford.

When chef Holly’s carefully built life unravels—first through a painful betrayal, then a near-fatal accident—she’s left reeling, uncertain of everything she once believed in, including love.

Reluctantly making her way to India, Holly hopes only for quiet and a little distance from her pain. But what she finds is something else entirely: unexpected moments of insight, unlikely friendships, and the stirring return of her own strength. As she slowly pieces herself back together—with the help of wise teachers, memorable meals, and a dash of poetic justice—Holly begins to glimpse a life richer than the one she lost.

Inspired by true events, The Love Thief is a page-turning ride through heartbreak, healing, and unexpected transformation. With surprise twists, a juicy revenge subplot, and irresistible recipes—from killer Masala Chai to paneer-stuffed cheeseburgers—this novel is a feast for the senses and the spirit.

Perfect for romantics, seekers, and food lovers alike, The Love Thief is Arielle Ford at her boldest, funniest, and most inspiring—ideal for fans of Alka Joshi, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Christina Lauren.

Arielle Ford's ability to transport the reader to a foreign world is unmatchable. The story begins with the protagonist Holly realizing her life had not turned out as she thought it would.

“Some people have to kiss a sociopath or two before they start to realize what real love is. For Holly, the fake version felt so good—until it didn’t. This book is true to its title: the story of a love thief, and the repair of the trust that was stolen. What she learned, and how she learned it, leads at last to the love that was there all along but hidden. Most people will see themselves somewhere in this story and learn more than they might imagine about how to get love right.”
— Marianne Williamson, best-selling author, political activist, and spiritual thought leader

“From page one of The Love Thief you’ll be hooked. Like many of us, the story’s heroine is called to surrender her ideas of what her life should look like and embarks on a wild ride into the unknown. You’ll be mesmerized and enchanted by the spiritual discoveries she makes along the way.”
— Kute Blackson, best-selling author of The Magic of Surrender
