The author of Recipe for
Persuasion—“not only one of the best but
one of the bravest romance novelists working today”
(Shelf Awareness)—adds an Indian American twist to
Jane Austen's classic Sense and
Sensibility in this delightful retelling that
is a feast for the senses.
Yash Raje, California’s first serious Indian
gubernatorial candidate, has always known exactly what he
wants—and how to use his privileged background to get
it. He attributes his success to a simple mantra: control
your feelings and you can control the world.
But when a hate-fueled incident at a rally critically
injures his friend, Yash’s easy life suddenly feels
like a lie, his control an illusion. When he tries to get
back on the campaign trail, he blacks out with panic.
Desperate to keep Yash’s condition from leaking to
the media, his family turns to the one person they
trust—his sister’s best friend, India Dashwood,
California’s foremost stress management coach. Raised
by a family of yoga teachers, India has helped San
Francisco’s high strung overachievers for a decade
without so much as altering her breath. But this
man—with his boundless ambition, simmering intensity,
and absolute faith in his political beliefs—is like no
other. Yash has spent a lifetime repressing everything to
succeed.
Including their one magical night ten years ago—a
too brief, too bright passion that if rekindled threatens
the life he’s crafted for himself. Exposing the
secrets might be the only way to save him but it’s
also guaranteed to destroy the dream he’s willingly
shouldered for his family and community . . . until now.
