Mili Rathod hasnโt seen her husband in twenty yearsโnot 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 beโif her husband would just come and claim her.
Bollywoodโs favorite director, Samir Rathod, has come to Michigan to secure a divorce for his older brother. Persuading a naรฏve village girl to sign the papers should be easy for someone with Samirโs tabloid-famous charm. But Mili is neither a fool nor a gold-digger. And before he can stop himself, Samir is immersed in Miliโs lifeโcooking her dal and rotis, escorting her to her roommateโs elaborate Indian wedding, and wondering where his loyalties and happiness lie.
