A Kiss in Kashmir

She came to Kashmir to honor the love she lost. She never expected to find another.

At fifty, accomplished painter Sharmila Solanki has long accepted that the great love of her life ended decades ago. When she travels to Kashmir to plan her daughter’s wedding, she hopes to connect her with the homeland of the father she never knew, and give them both a deeper understanding of the man they lost. Then she meets George Tomson.

A charming widower and retired professor with deep ties to the valley, George understands the loneliness, guilt, and complicated hope of loving after loss. As he guides Sharmila through Kashmir’s shimmering lakes, historic gardens, colorful markets, and treasured traditions, their unexpected friendship begins to deepen into something neither believed they would experience again.
