"A joyful, life-affirming story.... A lovely tribute to creatives everywhere."
--Uzma Jalaluddin, author of Much Ado About Nada In this charming, delightfully original rom-com, a struggling writer's muse suddenly comes to life, but can they create their own happily-ever-after? Legal secretary by day, aspiring novelist by night, Ziya Khan pours herself into writing stories featuring the kinds of diverse characters she loves. In exchange, she's got a growing pile of rejection letters. When yet another "thanks but no thanks" arrives on the eve of her thirtieth birthday, Ziya decides to throw her novel and her dreams in the trash. End of story. Except that when Ziya wakes up, there's a flesh-and-blood version of her muse standing in her kitchen. His name is Aashiq, and it's his job to inspire Ziya to write again. From singing karaoke to standing up for herself at work, he's pushing Ziya out of the sidelines and into the world, showing her how to live and love fully. Even more impossibly, something starts to blossom between them. But as Ziya rediscovers the joy of writing, Aashiq starts to disappear. His job is almost done. And it seems soon Ziya will have to choose: Her art...or her heart?
