This charming rom-com from an author whose writing is “deeply romantic, real, funny, and heartfelt” (Christina Lauren) is filled with Chinese traditions and a curse-breaking love story that will make fans of Helen Hoang, Jasmine Guillory, and Sarah Adams swoon.

Chinese herbalist Chryssy Hua Williams never actually believed in the Hua family curse. In this day and age? It seemed impossible that she—like every woman in the family—would be doomed to a terrible love life. But after Break-Up #9, Chryssy stopped laughing. Now she and her aunties run a special healing retreat center for the broken-hearted. After all, there’s nothing a proper cup of herbal tea can’t fix . . .

Only social media is more interested in a completely different kind of tea. Specifically, Chryssy’s innocent run-in with celebrity cellist and bad boy Vin Chao that has everyone talking about his heartbreaker reputation. So he offers her a deal: they’ll fake-date, he’ll “break” her heart (and increase ticket sales), and in return, he’ll promote her business. It’s like Chryssy’s whole cursed love life has been leading up to this moment. But all it takes is one kiss—and a whole lot of unexpected chemistry—to land both of them in hot water . . .
