For fans of Becka Mack and Ana Huang comes a heart-stopping and utterly romantic story about two people from opposite sides of the world who dare to risk the odds to be together.

She's bound by tradition, but maybe they're destined for love...

Priya Solanki is a "Dalit" or "untouchable," the lowest echelon of Indian castes—a stigma that follows individuals from birth to death, and as Priya learns, beyond oceans and continents. Traditionally assigned to occupations considered dishonorable for higher-caste communities, Priya's father comes from generations of cremators. Deciding to honor his heritage, he opens a funeral home after immigrating to Canada.

Determined to free herself from a label that deems her less worthy, less capable, and less intelligent, Priya leaves home against her parents' wishes. But a failed romance lands her back in the spot she tried so hard to leave—home—and her parents consider her return a cosmic lesson in accepting her fate.

Trapped between her parents' expectations and their caste-assigned family business, she's desperate to escape. But her plan takes a nosedive when Hollywood's hottest heartthrob, Jason Knight, rents out their funeral home to prepare for an upcoming role. And Jason isn't just any superstar—he was the boy next door, Priya's secret teenage crush long before his brooding magnetism seduced millions.

When her parents leave to go husband-hunting for her, Priya is left alone with Jason, and old flames reignite. But cozying up to Jason means stepping out of the shadows and into the paparazzi flashes—a terrifying prospect. If she can't see herself as his equal, the world surely won't. And even if Priya dares to follow her heart, she risks losing everything: her parents' trust, her chance to break free from the funeral home, and Jason.
