About this audiobook

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.
