Dreaming of Forever with You
Kalpani Desai has one goal: own the most popular salon in Pittsburgh. She has no room in the workplace for a tenant, let alone a life partner, no matter how attractive and wonderful Jonah seems now. She’s seen the disastrous effects of marriage on too many women of her culture—and that’s a hard no. If only the tenant she has to kick out of her new building wasn’t floundering artist (and ex-flame) Jonah Walker. Still, she can’t allow guilt—or desire—to derail her plans. But Jonah is far more than the laid-back creative type he seems. He’ll save his career. But how will he prove to Kalpani he's the best partner ever—an asset she can't possibly live without?
This is a multi-cultural, opposites-attract, love story centered around family. New beginnings make second chances and forgiveness a necessity!
