An aspiring teen art curator who's sworn off love spends a semester in India, where the first boy to give her butterflies again has a royally surprising secret—part of the international Love in Translation series of standalone YA romances.

"A swoon-worthy romance about following your heart. I absolutely adored this book." - Ann Liang, New York Times bestselling author of I Hope This Doesn't Find You

Archana Dhawan wants a boy-free zone this semester abroad. Fresh off a breakup, she's headed to Rajasthan, India—her parents' homeland—determined to find herself and thrive at her dream art museum internship. No drama. No distractions.

Alas, the universe is trying to tempt her. On day one, she meets the hottest boy on the train. Soon after, she runs into him again at work. Not only is the museum tied to a palace, but the cute guy, Shiv, is a royal gardener!

As he takes her to the most gorgeous local spots, their undeniable chemistry grows. Then Archi gets shocking news—Shiv is not who he seems. Now she's left wondering—was this brush with love the beginning of something warm and complex or just another bittersweet end?

The swoony Love in Translation romances can be read together or separately—Love Requires Chocolate, Love Craves Cardamom.
