It's Daphne Elizabeth 'DE' McKinley's senior year at Rosetta Academy - and things are going from bad to worse.

Bad? The painful break-up she's trying to get over.

Worse? A mysterious storm causing the Academy's students to fall into a deep sleep.

Even worse? The only person who can help is new-boy Xander, whose dreamy charms DE is determined to resist.

But as they race against time to find the source of the magic, can she stop herself falling under Xander's spell too?

About the Author

Sandhya Menon was born and raised in India on a steady diet of Bollywood movies and street food, and blames this upbringing for her obsession with happily-ever-afters, bad dance moves, and pani puri. Now she lives in Colorado, where she's on a mission to (gently) coerce her family to watch all 3,220 Bollywood movies she claims as her favourite. Visit her online at sandhyamenon.com.
