Bootie and the Beast Falguni Kothari

Fairytales don't end with a true love's kiss, they begin with one...

Diya "Beauty" Mathur, celebrated supermodel and Party Princess of India, is adored by everyone. She works hard, plays hard, and has the biggest shoe fetish on the planet. But when the purchase of a baby bootie with her scrumptious boss on her arm leaves Diya's reputation in shreds, there is only one place she can escape to--Dallas, Texas. There, she finds sanctuary under the watchful eye of her life-long friend and secret love, Krish "the Beast" Menon.

Financial whizz and entrepreneur, Krish Menon is a brooding workaholic with a charisma that still brings Beauty Mathur to her knees. He has no idea, of course. After all, the two have shared an unbreakable bond since childhood--a special friendship that thrives on sparring, teasing and goading. Now, with Diya back in his life and under his roof, Krish's latent desire for his ex-fiancée explodes. But he can't give in to it. He will not commit to any woman--especially not to Diya.

Everything changes when Diya forces Krish to confront a truth about himself, and he realizes just how much he wants his Beauty. And the only way to get Diya back is to allow her to tame the Beast.
