Book Description
In this charming rom-com filled with Chinese traditions and a family curse, an herbalist fake dates a star musician--perfect for fans of Helen Hoang and Jasmine Guillory.
 
Chinese herbalist Chryssy Hua Williams never actually believed in the Hua family curse. 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 ...
 
But Chryssy's innocent run-in with celebrity cellist and bad boy Vin Chao has everyone brewing about a different kind of tea. 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 ...
