Now that her best friend has found happiness, Annika Bashir is bursting in anticipation for her own happily ever after. Just one problem: Spoiled, shallow and utterly vain Annika is engaged to a boorish, "family-approved" lawyer who wouldn't know how to please a woman with an illustrated set of detailed instructions in hand. He's perfect on paper, but a real letdown in reality. But as long as he keeps handing over his Black American Express card for her frequent shopping excursions, she doesn't seem too bothered by the lack of passion between them.

Enter Dr. Kiran Patil, a handsome, stoic surgeon at a charity hospital who rocks Annika's world—and entire worldview—when she breaks her ankle during a short trip to India. But this doctor doesn't do shallow, and scorns vapid women with an affinity for Gucci handbags and extravagant shopping trips.

Will he scorn Annika also? Or will he become seduced by the woman she has become during her trip to exotic and mystical India, which seems to have the power to peel back her shallow layers and reveal intense passions buried deep down inside?
