Falguni, Kothari. Crazy Desi Love.

Read by Vikas Adam, Soneela Nankani

Nothing is as it seems in the movie business, including the love lives of the stars. Tania Coehlo, an A-list celebrity manager in Mumbai's Tinseltown-also known as the Piranha of Publicity-certainly has her work cut out for her as she walks into the set of the next Bollywood blockbuster, starring her client Ariana Kapoor. Ariana is the Indian film industry's upcoming reigning queen, and her costar and fiancé is Veer Rana, a smooth-talking bad boy … and the man Tania happened to have an affair with last Christmas. A man Tania just can't seem to banish from her mind. This year, Tania swears she won't fall for Veer's charming ways again. After all, he is still unavailable. Still forbidden. Still out of her league, just like the stars glittering in Rajasthan's night sky. But, surrounded by the provocative magic of an active film set and Veer's wicked determination to win her back, Tania finds herself star struck all over again, risking not only her heart for a second time but her career as well. "Soneela Nankani and Vikas Adam narrate a Bollywood-infused novella…Tania is a smart business woman, and Nankani portrays her poise and confidence with breezy aplomb…[and] captures the doubt she feels at pursuing a relationship with Veer. Adam has no trouble with Veer's public swagger and cocksure attitude and is equally adept at digging beneath the surface to reveal Veer's true identity-that of an intelligent and thoughtful problem solver."
