I’m so happy I can finally share the cover for the third and final book in ‘If Shakespeare was an Auntie’ series with all of you. The wonderful Fatima Baig designed the art as she’s done for Dating Dr. Dil and Tastes Like Shakkar.
Marriage and Masti was bittersweet for me to write because I absolutely loved spending time with Veera and Deepak, but I’m also saying goodbye to a group of friends that mean so much to me.
You can read the trilogy finale August 27th, 2024, but you can pre-order from Doylestown Bookshop for a personalized and signed copy now! I’ll be announcing the pre-order campaign closer to the release of the book, but if you get a Doylestown Bookshop copy, you’ll automatically be enrolled in the campaign.
Thank you for sticking around with me through this entire journey! I’m so grateful for all of the readers who’ve been with me for years, and for the new ones who’ve found me through Prem, Kareena, Bobbi, Bunty, Deepak and Veera.
The third and final installment in Nisha Sharma’s beloved Shakespeare-inspired rom-com trilogy—an ode to Twelfth Night—is the perfect friends to lovers romp featuring an accidental wedding, meddling families, and plenty of sizzling chemistry.
Veera Mathur has been through a lot in the past year. Both of her friends found soul mates, the man she fell in love with got engaged to another woman, and her father fired her before selling the family company. When her twin sister, Sana, tells her there is no way of getting her old life back, Veera feels lost at sea: a single, unemployed mess with a bad tattoo and tons of talent, but nowhere to go.
Deepak Datta hasn’t had the best luck either. To secure enough board votes for the CEO position at his family's company, Illyria Media, he’s ready to marry board member and famous beauty influencer, Olivia Gupta. That is until he wakes up to a get ready with me video announcing their separation. Despite his immediate relief, Deepak needs to do something fast to repair his image.
After a series of convenient mishaps bring them together again—including a literal shipwreck, way too many drinks, and a sunset elopement on the beach—Deepak and Veera realize their accidental wedding might be the solution to their career aspirations. Together, they plot against the very company that ruined their lives in the first place.
As they try to convince the world their friendship was a ruse for romance they’ve felt all along, the line between fake and real begins to blur. Now Veera and Deepak must ask themselves the terrifying question that has haunted them since the first time they met: will love ruin everything?
With her signature humor and heartfelt storytelling, Nisha Sharma writes a messy, spicy romance about identity, family honor, and love. In Marriage & Masti, readers are sure to love the highly anticipated finale of this beloved trilogy.
Want to start at the beginning? First comes Dating Dr. Dil and then there is Tastes Like Shakkar.
Until next time, friends!
Hugs, Nisha
