INVISIBLE LIVES
Anjali Banerjee

Romance Chick-Lit

Born with a sixth sense for locating the perfect saris for proper Bengali weddings, Lakshmi Sen is Seattle's reigning matchmaker (well, sort of). Her visions and intuition keep business bustling as she matches silks, cottons and chiffon of all colors to their rightful owners. All of her clients are blissfully paired up, their magical garments ensuring happiness and harmony. With such success, why can't Lakshmi find her own true bliss?

It isn't until Bollywood celebrity Asha Rao visits her shop that Lakshmi finds her world turned upside-down. Her visions fly out the door and her sense of the perfect piece of fabric is compromised every time she stops by. Could it be that Lakshmi can't perform under the pressure of celebrity, or is it because her stomach twists in knots when she makes eye contact with Asha's handsome driver, Nick? Of course, falling in love with a blond American Adonis is strictly forbidden, especially now that Lakshmi's mother has wonderful news from India -- she's found her a husband!

With the wedding only a few months away, Lakshmi must decide what is best for her and her family. Should she marry the dashing Ravi, an Indian doctor who is already devoted to his soon-to-be bride? Or should she follow her instincts and fall for Nick, knowing that love at first sight only strikes once?

Similar to her previous novel IMAGINARY MEN, Anjali Banerjee weaves yet another intoxicating tale that will instantly transport you into the heat and spice of India. Quick-paced and clever, INVISIBLE LIVES explores the shallows and depths of true love.

SUMMARY

Lakshmi Sen was born with a magical ability to perceive the secret longings in others. Putting aside her own dreams to help run her widowed mother's struggling Seattle sari shop, Mystic Elegance, Lakshmi knows exactly how to bring happiness to customers -- from lonely immigrants to starry-eyed young brides. And to honor her father's dying wish, she has agreed to marry a respectable Indian doctor who will uphold her family's traditions. But when a famous Indian actress chooses Mystic Elegance to provide her wedding trousseau, Lakshmi finds herself falling for the actress's sexy chauffeur -- all-American Nick Dunbar -- and her powers seem to desert her just as she needs them most. As Nick draws Lakshmi into his world, however, new dreams awaken in her, and she begins to uncover deeper, startling longings in her mother, her friends, her fiancรฉ, and even herself. But choosing between Nick and her fiancรฉ seems an impossible task, like intuiting the very nature of true love. Is it instantly recognizable or does it need time to grow? And how can she possibly know for sure?
