When career-driven Kareena Mann and reluctant TV heartthrob Dr. Prem Verma go viral after a televised spat about love, they strike a fake-dating deal that neither of them sees coming. Packed with sharp banter, big-hearted family chaos, and a swoony slow burn, this brand-new paperback is a must for rom-com shelves and gifting alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKareena Mann has given herself four months to find her soulmate - with one condition: he has to win over her meddling aunties. She needs to be engaged if she's ever going to buy back the family house her late mother built, and time is running out. Enter Dr. Prem Verma, the local television personality known as \"Dr. Dil,\" a cardiologist whose viral on-air argument with Kareena threatens to sink the community health centre he's fighting to fund. Their solution? A very public fake relationship, struck as a bargain to save both their reputations and their futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat follows is a whip-smart, deeply Desi rom-com bursting with meddling aunties, loyal best friends, family expectation, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers dynamic that critics have praised for its authenticity and heart. Nisha Sharma weaves Punjabi culture, real emotional stakes, and laugh-out-loud dialogue into a story that feels both classic and thoroughly modern. As Kareena and Prem's fake arrangement blurs into something real, readers are swept along for a hilarious, steamy, and ultimately tender ride toward happily ever after. It's the first in a loved trilogy that reimagines Shakespeare's comedies through a contemporary South Asian-American lens, and it stands perfectly well on its own for new readers discovering the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp, laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers banter with real emotional depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA vivid, loving cast of aunties, best friends, and family drama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich, authentic Desi cultural detail woven throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst book in the acclaimed If Shakespeare Were an Auntie series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new paperback, perfect for gifting or your own romance shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNisha Sharma is an award-winning author of YA and adult contemporary romance, including My So-Called Bollywood Life and the Singh Family Trilogy.
