Say You'll Be My Jaan by Naina Kamur

Meghna is a modern girl. She has tried dating in every way - dating apps, blind dates, and dated boys from University but till now nothing has worked. She still dreams that her best friend and ex Seth will see the error of his ways and marry her but until then...

When Seth announces he is getting married and asks her to be his best man, Meghna gets desperate and tells her mother (who has been trying convince her how good arranged marriages could be) that they can find her a man. That is how she meets Karthik and his mother. Karthik, whilst very handsome is very abrupt and tells her he is only going along with the charade of meeting her to please his mother but that having seen his parents' marriage he is not interested in marriage - ever!

However, Meghna needs a date for Seth's engagement and wedding, and Karthik needs a date to get his parents off his back and to help his job prospects. So a plan is hatched to have a mutually beneficial fake engagement.

What neither side predicts (even though totally predictable to the reader) is that they will fall in love for real. A sweet Romcom which is very readable and well written with strong characters.
