NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “This heartwarming and sexy novel is a beautiful, sometimes angsty examination of how a love story can be rekindled when one least expects it.”—Ali Hazelwood, The New York Times Book Review (Best Spicy Romance Novels)

“The most amazing rollercoaster of big feels and humor and heart.”—Hannah Bonam-Young, author of Out on a Limb
She needs a divorce from her husband—but a hurricane threatens to dredge up their stormy past in this second chance romance from the author of Say You’ll Be Mine.
It's been years since Meena separated from her husband, Nikhil . . . years since they first laid eyes on each other in their home state of Texas, years since they spontaneously wed in Las Vegas and she felt true happiness. Now a high-powered lawyer on Capitol Hill and ready to move on (at least, she thinks so) with another successful lawyer, Shake, Meena has returned to Texas. This time, finally to obtain a divorce.
But there’s one thing Meena didn’t account for: a hurricane forming in the Gulf, veering right toward them and giving them no choice but to hunker down in the home they had built together. Suddenly, she finds herself trapped amid gale-force winds and pelting rain with the man she once loved.
As they spend more time together, Meena begins to remember everything that drew her to Nikhil: his small-town charm, his thoughtful nature . . . his absurdly good looks. But being with Shake makes sense to her. He’s steady, ambitious, and wants exactly what she wants. So she’ll stick to her plan, come hell or high water. But will her windswept heart make the right choice, once the eye passes over and the storm settles?
With sharp observations about second chances at love, ambition and Indian American identity, and with characters who share an undeniable chemistry, Flirting with Disaster is a modern romance with the sensibility of a classic.

      For this tender contemporary, Kumar (Say You’ll Be Mine) draws inspiration from the movie Sweet Home Alabama. Meena has not seen her estranged husband, Nikhil, in over six years, and he has not responded to her emails or calls asking for a divorce. So she flies from D.C. to Houston to confront him in person and get him to sign the divorce papers, intending to return home the same day. After all, she has her lobbyist job and a promising political and personal partnership with her new boyfriend, Shake, waiting for her. But when a hurricane hits, she’s stranded in Houston and must weather the storm in the house she once shared with Nikhil. As they spend several days in close quarters, they clear up some of their mutual misunderstandings and old chemistry reignites, leading to a memorable night together. Now Meena faces some tough choices regarding her political ambitions, the future of her relationship with Shake, and the possibility of happiness with Nikhil. Kumar’s characters are authentic and believable and their shared culture as Desi Americans enhances the stormy love story. Romance fans will be riveted. Agent: Johanna Castillo, Writers House.
