Description

Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the pennyΓÇöbut not important emotions, like love. His family knows betterΓÇöthat 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 canΓÇÖt turn it down. Seducing Khai, however, doesnΓÇÖt go as planned. SheΓÇÖs hopelessly smitten with a man whoΓÇÖs convinced he can never return her affection.
