Ketika Khurana

Ketika Khurana writes contemporary adult romance about ambitious people discovering that falling in love does not make the rest of their lives conveniently disappear.

Her fiction is interested in desire, work, public identity, privacy and the negotiations required when two complicated adult lives collide. She is particularly drawn to characters whose careers matter deeply to them, and to relationships in which love must coexist with ambition rather than replace it.

Her stories combine humour and sensuality with an interest in the machinery surrounding modern relationships: media attention, professional boundaries, reputation, family expectations and the uncomfortable difference between being seen and truly being known.

In The Rule Between Us, she brings together documentary director Samira Ahuja and footballer Vihaan Oberoi in a romance about attraction, injury, ambition and the increasingly fragile boundary between public access and private ownership.

Ketika writes for readers who like sharp dialogue, adult chemistry, flawed but emotionally intelligent characters and romances in which both people are allowed to want the relationship without surrendering everything else they want from life.
