How much can change in a day? On one windy, stormy day in November, the Singh sisters Nidhi, Avani, Sirisha, and Rani are about to find out in this follow-up to Drizzle, Dreams, and Lovestruck Things. The Songbird Inn has always been the perfect home. No one knows that better the Singh sisters. Over the past few months, the Songbird has sent its eldest, Nidhi, out of the nest for the first time, welcomed a new marriage, and protected the younger Singh sisters Avani, Sirisha, and Rani through heartbreaks and growing pains. And today the whole Singh family will support aspiring filmmaker Rani in her first film festival--if they can make it through the wind storm. Wild Wishes and Windswept Kisses follows Nidhi, Avani, Sirisha, and Rani Singh over the course of one dramatic day as they each fight to make their wild wishes come true.

Four sisters, four seasons, and four flavors of romance unfold at the Songbird Inn on Orcas Island, a cozy haven run by the Singh family. Recently named the Most Romantic Inn in America, the inn becomes a backdrop for the sisters' personal journeys. Nidhi's carefully laid plans are disrupted by a storm that introduces her to an intriguing construction worker, igniting a longing for her roots and prompting her to reevaluate her desires. Avani, unable to confront her grief for her late father, immerses herself in organizing a Winter Ball in his honor. However, a blizzard forces her to confront her feelings when she finds herself trapped in a barn with a boy she has been avoiding. Sirisha, a shy photographer, struggles to express herself until a visiting actress inspires her to step out from behind her camera and find her voice. Meanwhile, Rani, the ultimate romantic, encourages her sisters to embrace love while she navigates her own feelings for two potential suitors who sweep into her life. As the seasons change, the magic of the Songbird Inn helps the Singh sisters discover new passions, experience breathtaking moments, and ultimately uncover their true selves.
