To Have and to Heist

Simi Chopra is tired of mind-numbing jobs where she’s overqualified and underpaid. She gets more excitement than she bargained for, however, when her best friend is framed for a jewelry theft, and they must steal back a priceless necklace to clear her name. Aided by a sexy professional “repossessor” and an eclectic entourage of aspiring criminals, Simi takes on mobsters, bridezillas, and exotic animals, all while dodging one hunky detective and endless matchmaking attempts from her well-meaning aunties. Has she found her calling as a caper coordinator, or will her beginner-level burgling end in disaster? Desai (The Singles Table) presents an enchanting, plot-driven contemporary romance. The quirky cast of characters is hilarious and heartwarming, whether cracking jokes or cracking safes. Narrator Soneela Nankani shines as Simi in this fast-paced, first-person tale. From sweet to steamy, her expressive performance enhances the wit and whimsy of the narrative.
