SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY: Busted in Bollywood

Just over a week until BUSTED IN BOLLYWOOD releases, eeek!



Today's snippet takes place when Shari meets the Rama family for the first time, and her 'betrothed' Rakesh. (In reality, her friend Amrita's betrothed-she's posing as Amrita and she needs to ditch the guy!)





I'd met the three stepsisters and the fairy godmother—of my nightmares. Before I could beg a drink from the nearest servant, who moved among the guests with a fancy gold tray bearing goblets filled with fresh lime juice, Rakesh appeared and I blinked at his beauty all over again.

"Could we talk?" His soulful brown eyes reminded me of a beagle puppy I'd once found as a kid: docile, trusting, and eager to find a good home. In this case, I hoped Rakesh didn't have his sights set on the Big Apple. New York wasn't big enough for the both of us, considering one of us was a big, fat phony.
