Hi all

The following is my query. If interested in a beta swap or crit partnership, pls DM me or comment below.

______________

Child pickpocket-turned-cybersecurity analyst. With a resume like that, who’s going to give Seema Rawat a job—a legit position, with a paycheck and insurance and all that crap? Her aunt, that’s who. Problem is, said aunt was merely overprotective as the court-appointed guardian, but as the boss of the Income Tax Criminal Investigation Department, she’s a bitch.

If Seema can bring down Adhith Verma, the tax-cheating fashion plate the department has been trying to nail for months, she can slither out from under her aunt’s thumb. With her specially-built hacking tool, Seema cracks the firewall protecting Adhith’s business network, but his personal computer is still out of her reach. She strikes up acquaintance with him, fluttering her lashes and pouting her lips in the hope he’d let her access his device.

Seema is this close to victory when she meets Adhith’s colleague and best friend, Vikram Joshi. Not only is Vikram a celebrity in hacker circles, his pecs and abs have Seema's hormones doing a Bollywood group dance. To make matters worse, her ever-vigilant aunt butts in, trying to save Seema’s virtue from Adhith, and he falls hard for the aunt, pushing that computer further out of Seema’s reach. Then, Vikram trips the alarm Seema had written into her hacking tool and now, he’s on the hunt for the spy in their systems.

If Seema can’t find a way to salvage her mission, she’ll be stuck forever doing audits, and the tax cheat will get away with the millions he’s looted from the nation.

At 96,000 words, ONE MONSOON IN MUMBAI… is adult, commercial fiction set in India. It has the comedy of Sandhya Menon’s When Dimple met Rishi and the social commentary of Anuja Chauhan’s Battle for Bittora.
