"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."
