    About this series

    She's never done what was expected of her . . .

    Laila Sood has always resisted tradition and her parents' wishes, from leaving her small town in India and moving to Seattle to start a rock band, to rejecting the groom her parents chose for her arranged marriage. Now twenty-nine, Laila's band has critical acclaim on the indie scene, but she hasn't attained her goal that will cement her rock star status-signing with a major LA label.

    Marriage is the last thing on Laila's mind when she meets Hari Singh. He's an Indian mama's dream-a handsome pediatrician from a rich, well-connected Indian family-and everything Laila's rejected her entire life. Even worse, sparks fly between them like Diwali fireworks, and though Laila's aunt is hoping to match Hari with her daughter, Hari is fascinated by Laila. She thinks a few dates will prove that he's too boring and traditional for her, except Laila only falls harder.

    Does Laila still chase her rock star dream, or has Hari shown her a new way to fly her rebel flag that just might be anchored in tradition?

    Contains mature themes.

      She's always done what was expected of her. Until . . . When thirty-year-old Seattle-based Indian housewife Mira Sood is blindsided by her husband's extramarital affair, her three-year arranged marriage is shattered. Humiliated, heartbroken, near-broke, and facing the united dissension of her orthodox family, Mira is desperate to rebuild her life. She moves in with her rebel cousin, searches for any job that will take her, and impulsively signs up for a half-marathon race. There's just one problem-Mira's experience with running starts and ends with running to catch the bus. With herself as her biggest critic and doubter, Mira commits to the race and is assisted by entrepreneur Andy Fitzgerald, a handsome, elite marathoner who helps her create a training schedule and personal goals. When the lines of friendship begin to blur, Mira realizes she's facing an even bigger challenge. Can Mira embrace her stronger, more independent self-risking another heartbreak and disappointing her family-or will she once again play it too safe and let the possibility of happiness slip away? Contains mature themes.
