Adam & Evie’s Matchmaking Tour

Nguyen’s heart-fluttering debut follows poet Evie Lang to Vietnam, where she finds adventure and whirlwind romance. Evie’s eccentric late aunt wills her niece her breathtaking California mansion under one condition—she must participate in the Love Yêu matchmaking tour in Vietnam and give real love a chance. Though Evie is unenthusiastic at first, she changes her mind when her cheesy “Ralph-Fiennes-wannabe” boyfriend betrays her and she loses her teaching job; besides, the getaway could be just the thing to get her out of her yearlong writing rut. The last thing she expects is to meet “Vietnamese Adonis” Adam Quyền, the brooding and irresistible CMO of Love Yêu. Adam is bitter from dealing with his own disastrous love life when stunning Evie literally stops him in his tracks. Though their connection feels like magic, they both resist it—after all, Evie has her life waiting for her in San Francisco, and Adam is weighed down by his family’s expectations that he uphold their reputation and company. Nguyen effortlessly guides readers through Evie and Adam’s exhilarating romance, striking a perfect balance between tender moments and sparky banter. Romance lovers and armchair travelers alike are sure to be sucked in. Agent: Abby Walters, CAA. (Sept.)
