Award-winning author Sonali Dev launches a new series about the Rajes, an immigrant Indian family descended from royalty, who have built their lives in San Francisco... It is a truth universally acknowledged that only in an overachieving Indian American family can a genius daughter be considered a black sheep.
Being paired with a celebrity who was her first love, the man who ghosted her at the worst possible time in her life, only proves what Ashna has always believed: leaps of faith are a recipe for disaster.
Yash Raje, California's first Indian-American gubernatorial candidate, has always known exactly what he wants and how to use his privileged background to get it. He attributes his success to a simple mantra: If you control your feelings you can control the world. But when a hate crime at a rally critically injures his friend, Yash's easy life suddenly feels like a lie, his control an illusion. When he tries to get back on the campaign trail, he blacks out with panic. Desperate to keep Yash's condition from leaking to the media, his family turns to the one person they trust, his sister's best friend, India Dashwood, California's foremost stress management coach. Raised by a family of yoga gurus, India has helped San Francisco?'s high strung overachievers for a decade without so much as altering her breath. But this man with his simmering intensity and absolute faith in his political beliefs is like no other. Yash has spent a lifetime repressing everything to succeed, including their one magical night together ten years ago -- a too brief, too bright passion that if rekindled threatens to destroy the dream he's willingly shouldered for his family and community...until now
