Meera Rajput knows what she needs in life, and a boyfriend isn't one of them. Between struggling to pay rent and reining her sex-crazed little sister, Meera doesn't need any more complications in her life. So when her visiting cousin, Riya, suggests that a chance interview with billionaire Ezra Agent can lead to something more, Meera pays no heed to her teasing, knowing that her relationship with Ezra will never pass professional lines. She can blush and dream about it all she wants, but there's no way that her dream will ever be a reality... Or so she thinks. When a chance interaction at her graduation brings Meera to the realization that Ezra is undoubtedly interested in her, she's not sure what to think. He's rich, handsome, and the kindest man that she's ever met, but falling in love with Ezra brings back Meera's physical insecurities, as well as other issues. Without Riya's support, Meera finds herself getting strangled with the daily tasks of a new graduate. Add in a new family member, a lawsuit, and a death, can Meera lift her head and face the new challenges? Or will she hide from them, just as she's always had, and lose the one good thing that's ever happened to her?

When Latin singer Juan Peláez hires hyperrealism artist Lin Solavida to paint a mural in his home, he doesn't know what he's in for. Word around town is that Lin is a forty-something guy with a Quasimodo-like hunchback. But no one has ever actually seen the man. Their contract comes with specific instructions: Juan isn't allowed to enter the room while the artist is working in his house for the next two months. Straightforward. Doable. Until his accidental run-in with the mysterious artist. Here's the problem. A: SHE is gorgeous, witty, and crazy talented. And B: She has walls so high no one can climb them. Finding ways to entice Lina into wanting to spend time with him shouldn't be too hard for a charming, creative guy like him, right? Wrong. Every attempt backfires. He either upsets her, runs her over, or, you know, epically embarrasses himself in front of her. But every miserable failure also makes her laugh and teaches him something new about Lina. ----------------------------- Tropes: forced proximity, lone (she-)wolf, meet cute This is a feel-good rom-com that came to me after watching Disney's Encanto. 😅 Just that "We Don't Talk About Bruno" turned into "We Don't Talk About Lina."
