Mili Rathod hasnβt seen her husband in twenty yearsβnot since she was promised to him at the age of four. Yet marriage has allowed Mili a freedom rarely given to girls in her village. Her grandmother has even allowed her to leave India and study in America, all to make her the perfect modern wife. Which is exactly what Mili longs to beβif her husband would just come and claim her.
Bollywoodβs favorite director, Samir Rathod, has come to Michigan to secure a divorce for his older brother. Persuading a naΓ―ve village girl to sign the papers should be easy for someone with Samirβs tabloid-famous charm. But Mili is neither a fool nor a gold-digger. And before he can stop himself, Samir is immersed in Miliβs lifeβcooking her dal and rotis, escorting her to her roommateβs elaborate Indian wedding, and wondering where his loyalties and happiness lie.
