Enter the perfect solution—an interactive app where the star of Hot Mess dishes style, beauty and relationship advice guaranteed to transform any woman into a man magnet.

Yet marriage has allowed Mili a freedom rarely given to girls in her village. Her grandmother has even allowed her to leave India and study in America, all to make her the perfect modern wife. Which is exactly what Mili longs to be—if her husband would just come and claim her. But Mili is neither a fool nor a gold-digger. Romance author Kamaria Wilson came to Las Vegas with nothing to lose. Panicked, she skips out on the morning-after encore and hides out at the poker tables.

While Natalie Frederico has shown herself to be a prodigy when it comes to ballet, she much prefers modern dance and living on her own terms.

Life is too short for anything else. When the two are forced to work side-by-side, sparks begin to fly onstage and off. After years of military service, Evan Miller wants a quiet life. The small town of Ravenswood seems perfect—until he stumbles upon a vicious web of lies with his new neighbour at its centre. Ruth Kabbah is rude, awkward, and—according to everyone in town—bad news.

Once the golden boy of the English literary scene, now a clinically depressed writer of pulp crime fiction, Ash Winters has given up on love, hope, happiness, and—most of all—himself. Then a chance encounter at a stag party throws him into the arms of Essex boy Darian Taylor, an aspiring model who lives in a world of hair gel, fake tans, and fashion shows. That was the deal. Every year, Livvy Kane and Nicholas Chandler would share one perfect night of illicit pleasure. The forbidden hours let them forget the tragedy that haunted their pasts—and the last names that made them enemies.

Now Nicholas has an empire to run. Although the passion between them might have once run hot and deep, not even love can overcome the scandal that divided their families. Newly single and openly bisexual, Laura makes Sara think decidedly not-straight thoughts. His father is dying.

Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other, but the attraction is immediate and goes deeper than friendship.

But Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made for her and escapes back to Jordan, while Leyla tries to move on with her new-found life, to the shock of her tradition-loving parents.

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases—a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.

Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic…. But all that changes when her parents are killed in a tragic accident, making her guardian to her two younger brothers. But Connor surprises her. Alice had her whole summer planned.

As a self-proclaimed Bollywood expert, Winnie knows this is not how her perfect ending is scripted. But does falling for Dev mean giving up on her prophecy and her chance to live happily ever after?
