Sunshine and spice / Aurora Palit.

Palit, Aurora, (author.).

Summary:

"When two complete opposites agree to fake date in order to solve their cultural dilemmas, they find the only force more powerful than an immigrant mother's matchmaking schemes might just be true love. Naomi Kelly is a problem solver. She'll do anything to make her new brand consulting business a success. When she lands a career-saving contract to rebrand the Mukherjee family's failing local bazaar, she knows she has to nail this one. But as the "oops" baby of a free-spirited Bengali mother, Naomi's lack of connection to her roots represents everything Gia Mukherjee disdains. Enter, Dev Mukherjee. Dev knows everything his mother wants ... including for him to get married, like, yesterday. When Gia hires a matchmaker (without, you know, asking him), Dev vows to do whatever it takes to avoid ending up in the same cold, loveless marriage his parents shared. When a potential match mistakes Naomi for his girlfriend, the solution to both their problems becomes clear: Naomi will pretend to date Dev in order to sabotage his mother's matchmaking efforts in exchange for lessons in Bengali culture. Flawless plan, right? But as Naomi and Dev bond over awful dancing at Garba, couples cooking classes, and rebranding the bazaar space as a team, they start to realize that while their relationship may be fake, their feelings for each other are starting to become very real. As the line between reality and rumor blurs, Naomi and Dev must confront what it means to fit the mold, and decide how much they're willing to risk for love"-- Provided by publisher.
