The Fake Matchmaker

From the nationally bestselling author of Sari, Not Sari comes a delightful enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance about how love is sometimes only a click away.

While her brothers are finding their soulmates and planning the rest of their lives, Manisha Patel is moving back in with her parents, dodging calls from her cheating Aquarius ex-boyfriend, and avoiding questions about her love life. Worse, she's being forced to help out her father's friend's son, and Manisha would rather be doing anything else. Rohit Khanna may be incredibly hot and have great style, but he's also arrogant, rude, and (allegedly) a cheater, and Manisha wants nothing to do with him.

But these things turn out to be the least of Manisha's worries when she gets the heartbreaking news that her dream of one day having a family might slip through her fingers. Then, a stroke of genius: What if there was a fake matchmaking service where Manisha was the only client? One single profile, countless eligible bachelors for Manisha to choose from. It's the perfect plan to find a husband and live happily ever after... isn't it?
