“A swoon-worthy romance about following your heart. I absolutely adored this book.” —Ann Liang, New York Times bestselling author of I Hope This Doesn’t Find You
Archi Dhawan’s senior year is a boy-free zone.
Hot off a break-up, she’s determined to find herself in her parents’ homeland: Rajasthan, India. More importantly, she must complete her capstone project by interning at one of the most prestigious art galleries in the country. 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. As it turns out, not only is the museum connected to a palace, but the cute boy, Shiv, is a royal gardener! 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?
