On day one, she meets the most attractive boy she’s ever seen on the train to her new school. Then she runs into him again at work.

He offers to show her the real Jaipur, from Desi food he cooks to local spots tourists don't visit. Their chemistry is undeniable, and just as she begins to open up to the idea of romance, she gets shocking news that thrusts Archi into the spotlight herself. As an aspiring art curator, is she prepared to be the one on display?
