Jane Stepanoff is in her thirties and newly single. Disillusioned by her persistent bad luck with men, she decides to take a chance on an arranged marriage with an heir to a Pakistani landowning dynasty and in the process help him get a green card.
Mahsood Khan always knew that his bride would be selected by his parents and had long been engaged to a suitable girl. When the family's business interests require Mahsood to marry an American citizen instead, he is in no position to refuse.
So starts the union between a man and a woman as different as East and West, peppered by shared attraction as much as by mutual prejudices. Will Jane and Mahsood find happiness together or is divorce inevitable for this mismatched couple?

"Hear me out carefully now," she murmurs, wanting to grasp his attention from his irritable phone to her. He raises a brow in confusion. "Since we are at it and we can't help but accept this arrangement, let's make some rules which you should put in your dumbass head as soon as possible. We can't go against---" He rolls his eyes. "Cut the slack and come to the point. I don't have a whole day for you." She folds her arms around her chest and scowls at him. "Rule no 1: You aren't going to call me by any lecherous nickname." He shrugs his shoulders. "I ain't dying to do that either. Get out of your high hopes." She glowers at his annoyance but again comes to the point. "Rule no 2: We aren't supposed to wear any kind of adornment which could portray as we are linked to one another." "Zero wish," he spats. "Rule no 3: If any of them would expect us to fulfill any demand, we should know our answer in response. We won't do anything which the other party doesn't want. It's all a drama. Do you understand?" She asks, wanting to confirm it. He nodded. "Understood. I have one ambiguity. Rules won't apply if we both want to break them. Right?" And it takes all her self-control not to land a spicy slap across this idiot smug's cheek. Start Date: 17.12.2024 End Date: 22:10.2025Complete
