Ravpreet "Raavi" Kaur, a high school senior in Long Island, lives under the shadow of her family's rigid expectations and explosive temper. In her traditional Sikh household, honor is everything, and even speaking to a boy could get her locked away-or worse. Quiet, intelligent, and deeply lonely, Raavi has learned to keep her dreams small and her voice even smaller.
Until she meets Dharam Singh.
At 21, Dharam is everything her parents would despise. He cut his hair years ago, walks his own path, and runs a small but successful mobile detailing business with his older brother, Himmat, in Queens. But when he meets Raavi at a mutual friend's wedding, the connection is instant-and undeniable. He sees her fire buried beneath fear, and she sees the life she's never been allowed to imagine.
What begins as late-night texts and secret glances turns into stolen moments and whispered promises. As their love deepens, so does the danger. Raavi's father begins watching her every move, her mother grows colder, and the threat of violence hangs in the air.
Knowing her life will never be hers unless she takes it, Raavi makes the most terrifying choice of her life. On the night she turns eighteen, she runs-straight into Dharam's arms.
Together, they start a new chapter in a tiny apartment in Queens with Dharam's older brother. It's not easy. They're young, on their own, and haunted by the past. But for the first time, Raavi is free. Free to love. Free to dream. Free to be herself.
