Maya's Laws of Love

"A charming, funny, and unique twist on challenging the laws and traditions that shape us."
--Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly

A bride-to-be convinced she's cursed in romance finds her luck changing--at exactly the wrong time.

Maya Mirza is so convinced she's unlucky in love that she's come up with a list of laws to explain it. Most importantly...

• Maya's Law #1: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

But that's about to change. Maya's headed to Pakistan for an arranged marriage with a handsome, successful doctor who ticks all the right boxes. First comes marriage, then comes love--she's sure of it. Except...

• Law #4: When you think you're lucky, think again.

From the start, Maya's journey is riddled with disaster, and the cynical lawyer seated next to her on the plane isn't helping. When a storm leaves them stranded in Switzerland, she and Sarfaraz become unlikely travel companions through bus breakdowns and missed connections.

• Law #6: Trips are never smooth sailing.

And before long, Maya's wondering whether she's just experienced the ultimate in misfortune--finally meeting the right man a few days before she marries someone else. And Maya might just be the worst person to keep a secret.

• Law #18: If you're overtired, you'll always spill your guts.

But maybe, if she's willing to bend some laws, this detour could take her somewhere totally--and wonderfully--unexpected.

"Rooted in Pakistani and Muslim culture and faith, this romance is a fun romp that features plenty of adventure and plot twists. Recommend to fans of Uzma Jalaluddin."
