by Farah Heron

368 pages · Trade Paperback

Kamila Hussain has her life perfectly organized, between her career, her volunteer work, caring for her ailing father, and setting up her friends with their ideal matches. There is no room in her schedule for her own love life. Rohan Nasser, a family friend she has known forever, has stepped up to help her family, and he sees more in Kamila than she lets herself notice. When her longtime rival returns and sets her sights on Rohan, Kamila's carefully managed world starts to wobble. A playful, Bollywood-flavored take on Jane Austen's Emma.
