520    Ria Parkar is Bollywood's favorite Ice Princess--beautiful,
       poised, and scandal-proof--until one impulsive act 
       threatens to expose her destructive past. Traveling home 
       to Chicago for her cousin's wedding offers a chance to 
       diffuse the coming media storm and find solace in family, 
       food, and outsized celebrations that are like one of her 
       vibrant movies come to life. But it also means confronting
       Vikram Jathar.   Ria and Vikram spent childhood summers 
       together, a world away from Ria's exclusive boarding 
       school in Mumbai. Their friendship grew seamlessly into 
       love--until Ria made a shattering decision. As far as 
       Vikram is concerned, Ria sold her soul for stardom and 
       it's taken him years to rebuild his life. But beneath his 
       pent-up anger, their bond remains unchanged. And now, 
       among those who know her best, Ria may find the courage to
       face the secrets she's been guarding for everyone else's 
       benefit--and a chance to stop acting and start living.   
       Rich with details of modern Indian-American life, here is 
       a warm, sexy, and witty story of love, family, and the 
       difficult choices that arise in the name of both.
