Forever unlucky in love, Saffron Harris has vowed never to fall for a good-looking rogue again. From now on, she'll only date plain men; men who'll appreciate her; men who won't cheat on her; men who won't break her heart. So when she meets the gorgeous Cory Roswell, Saffron decides he's not her type at all. Too tall, too dark and way too handsome. Multi-millionaire Cory, on the other hand, has tired of women after only one thing: his wallet. All he desires is a woman who'll love him for himself rather than his bank balance. He's therefore decided to be less than honest about his past. Despite this unpromising start, romance begins to blossom. But does a relationship based on lies ever stand a chance? It's only a matter of time before the mismatched lovers' secrets come bursting into the open - with suprising, and often hilarious, results.
Kareena is understandably nervous on her wedding night, when she will make love to her husband for the first time - but at least she knows her parents have chosen well.

A secret in the shapely form of Cloey whom he's been dating for the past six years. Cloey isn't prepared to give up her man - or, more importantly, his bank balance without a fight. And she's prepared to fight very dirty indeed. Kareena, however, is not the timid little Indian bride Cloey had expected her to be. In fact, Cloey might just have met her match.
