The Bride Test

From the acclaimed author of "The Kiss Quotient" comes a heartfelt romance exploring love, autism, and cultural barriers. Khai Diep believes he's incapable of experiencing deep emotions like love, attributing his emotional processing differences to his autism. Frustrated by his lack of romantic interest, Khai's mother travels to Vietnam, determined to find him a suitable wife. There, she discovers Esme Tran, a resourceful and hopeful young woman from the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, who sees this opportunity as a chance to secure a better future for her family. Arriving in America, Esme is tasked with a unique mission: to seduce Khai and teach him about love. As Esme endeavors to win Khai's affection, she unexpectedly falls deeply in love with him herself, while Khai remains convinced he can't reciprocate. With Esme's visa ticking down, Khai must confront his preconceived notions about his own emotional capacity and realize that love manifests in countless, often unexpected, ways.
