The Zoya Factor by Anuja Chauhan

Zoya Solanki, an advertising executive, handling a soft drink campaign turns up at Indian Cricket team's breakfast just before a crucial match. Team wins the match against significant odds and thus starts Zoya's innings as Lady Luck for the team.

Zoya has the dubious distinction of being born at the exact minute the Indian Team won the world cup in the 80s. Once this bit of news gets out, the cricket crazy nation goes on a Zoya frenzy. From being idolized to being stalked, baited and eventually hated, Zoya's unexciting life becomes a roller coaster ride through the power corridors of the game that is looked upon as a religion in the Asian subcontinent. As if her life wasn't messed up enough, Zoya too is falling for the Captain of the team, Nikhil Khoda, who has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't like this Zoya Factor nonsense one bit. Will someone please give this girl a breather?

As far as romances go, this one has all the right elements. Predictable but fun.
