Main character Meghna Raman is a teacher who has big dreams. When she ends up teaming up with an engineer to get through the wedding of an ex and get away from the pressure of being match-made into a relationship from their Indian families by faking an engagement, what could go wrong?

Meghna’s parents always wanted her to study to become an engineer. She has gone after her passion instead, becoming a theater teacher and wanting to write plays. Then she finds out that her best friend and writing partner Seth is engaged all of a sudden to another woman, and she realizes that her unspoken crush is about to transform into an entirely new situation: the one where she witnesses him become the one that got away.

Seth has now made things even more complicated by asking her to be the best man at his wedding. Somehow she lost her mind and agreed to it. Meghna is now forced to make the most of it and she’s got to try to move on at least a little bit and get this thing out of her head. She ends up allowing her parents to introduce her to a possible match, and thinks that she might even find a guy who’s an engineer, which might take the heat off of her for never becoming one.

She ends up being set up by Karthik Murthy, a handsome engineer with a bit of a lovable bitter side. Growing up with his parents was enough to convince him that marriage just wasn’t in the cards for him. But he agreed to let his mother set him up with a match to try and just let her be happy. He never imagined that he would end up being set up with someone so beautiful and vibrant.

The two get along well. Karthik knows that he can’t give her an authentic marriage, but the two of them could at least get fake engaged. That would help her get over participating in the wedding of her crush and get their families to leave them alone and stop setting them up endlessly.

As the two spend more time together, they start to find things in common between them. They end up protecting each other, and start to find that they have real chemistry and like the things about each other that they never thought that they would.

However, there are a lot of expectations for the pair, and a lot of pressure on them. Will Karthik and Meghna find that what they have is deeper than they could have ever expected? Can they give themselves the freedom to try and pursue something special and truly find love with the other? Find out by picking up a copy of this sweet romantic tale which incorporates culture, family, and love seamlessly and completely!
