Can Love be Arranged?
I met my husband the traditional way, we were college sweethearts.
My parent’s marriage was arranged. My grandparents introduced them during a family dinner. It was the 1970’s in India, she was nineteen and shyly considering the man sitting across from her. He was twenty-six and counting his lucky stars that his future wife was so beautiful. They didn't talk, just stole glances while their parents discussed how perfect the families would meld together. They’ve been married for over forty years. Today, with online dating, I wondered whether arranged marriages still exist. Yes, they do.

Meet my heroine Meera Malhotra from First Comes Marriage . She is a practical woman, a physician and scientist for whom love is illogical. A modern woman with a successful career needs a partner who can support her goals. And who better than her best friend and research partner? They’ve known each other for years, they get along well, and have mutual respect for each other. How many married couples can say that?
What about love? They love each other, not the heart pounding, butterflies in your belly love but how long does such frivolity last anyway? Arranged marriages have long been a part of her culture. The divorce rate in India is 1%, compared to 50% in the US.
Meera's wedding is in two months. A big, fat Bollywood style Indian wedding that’ll formalize the close relationship between two families. Her life is all planned out, and she’s happy with it.
So why did she schedule a medical rotation in the town of Hell’s Bells, USA two months before her London wedding? And what happens when this buttoned up Londoner falls for an American cowboy?
I hope you’ll enjoy the fusion of Western romance with Bollywood style drama.
