After a drunken night in Vegas, Meena wakes up married to her boyfriend Nikhil. The marriage lasts a year before imploding, with Meena leaving their Houston, TX, home for Washington, DC, to pursue her law career. With her professional life flourishing, she sets her sights on a joint run for office with her current boyfriend, but first she needs Nikhil to finally sign their divorce papers. Determined to get his signature, she flies to Houston and arrives on his doorstep, only to discover that a hurricane is on its way, and it’s too late to evacuate. She’ll have to ride out the storm with her soon-to-be ex-husband. As the storm rages, they are forced to remain in close proximity and work together to rescue a neighbor from his flooded home. In the aftermath, they begin to open up about how they felt years ago and what might have driven them apart. They are clearly drawn to each other, but their previous hurts and current ambitions may still pull them in opposite directions.
VERDICT In this reimagining of Sweet Home Alabama, Kumar (Say You’ll Be Mine) writes an emotion-filled, second-chance romance, perfect for fans of Kennedy Ryan.
