Khai Diep has no
feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or
contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but not big,
important emotions—like grief. And love. He thinks he’s defective. His
family knows better—that his autism means he just processes emotions
differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes
matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the
perfect bride.
As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi
Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity
arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can’t turn
it down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing
Khai, however, doesn’t go as planned. Esme’s lessons in love seem to be
working…but only on herself. She’s hopelessly smitten with a man who’s
convinced he can never return her affection.
With Esme’s time in
the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he’s been
wrong all along. And there’s more than one way to love.
