Dating Dr. Dil: A Spicy Enemies-to-Lovers Story with a Doctor, Matchmaking Aunties, and a Race Against Time (If Shakespeare Were an Auntie, 1) by Nisha Sharma

From local-author fave Nisha Sharma, Dating Dr. Dil is a spicy, laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers rom-com packed with fake dating, best-friend chaos, and a whole squad of matchmaking aunties who do not take “no” for an answer.

Kareena Mann is turning thirty and going for broke: she’s determined to find her soulmate in four months—and he has to pass the ultimate test… her meddling aunties. When her widowed dad announces he’s selling their family home after her sister’s engagement party, Kareena makes a high-stakes deal: if she can find “the one” by party day, she gets the house and can keep her mother’s legacy alive.

Dr. Prem Verma—yes, host of the Dr. Dil Show, yes, an actual cardiologist—doesn’t do romance. He fixes hearts in the strictly medical sense. Unfortunately, his first run-in with Kareena is a disaster, their second is worse, and their on-air argument about love goes viral. Suddenly Prem’s reputation is on the line, a major donor is backing out, and the fastest way to save his image is… fake dating Kareena.

They have totally opposite goals, zero patience for each other, and chemistry that refuses to stay professional. And as the clock ticks down, Prem starts to wonder if the woman he’s pretending to date might be the only one he actually wants. In this Taming of the Shrew–inspired romance, hate turns into fate—whether they’re ready or not.
