Can Rishi usher a white American woman into his traditional household or will this crumble the fabric of his conservative family? Read to find out! But fate has its ways when the two realize no code can change their desires for each other. Rishi gets the help from Emma who builds a web code for Rishi to find that perfect Indian bride who is both traditional and progressive at the same time. With his financial plan gone awry, Rishi is left with no choice but to get married and follow his traditional hierarchical role as the older Indian brother who has to marry first before his younger sister can. Emma and Rishi both work in IT in Seattle but a project that doesn’t go as planned, lead them to Bangalore, India. This is a multicultural romance with the familiar “lovers to haters” trope but with the twist of including India and tradition throughout. Thank you to the author, Amazon Publishing & Montlake for gifting me an advance copy of this book in exchange for a honest review! Neither of them expect her marriage code to work so well-or to fall for one another-which leads Emma and Rishi to wonder if leaving fate up to formulas is really an equation for lasting love. So, when Emma makes him an offer-join her team, and she’ll write an algorithm to find him the perfect bride-he reluctantly accepts. To make matters worse, not only does his job require him to return home to Bangalore with his nemesis, Emma, but his parents now expect him to choose a bride and get married.
