I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 


Priya Gupta has dreamed of running the family company, Loot, for as long as she can remember. The only problem? Her father seems to prefer her twin brother Ajay (who would rather become a painter).

Gavin Carlyle is the heir at a competing auction-house of Loot’s and Priya has grown up thinking of him as an annoyance. 
Gavin is charming and constantly competing with Priya for clients looking to sell art.

When opportunity strikes for her to land a major collection that would expand Loot’s business from just Indian art, Priya will do whatever it takes. Even if that means spending a week at a lavish country home competing against Gavin for the collection. As the week goes on, Priya starts to see Gavin in a whole new light. Can they ever be more than just rivals?


This was absolutely adorable and I found myself so excited to figure out what would happen next. I relate to Priya a lot— so focused on work and success that you put off relationships. Her and Gavin’s relationship was so swoon worthy and I love how the story ended.
