Description
A love-averse Korean royal court cuisine instructor in search of a perfect-on-paper husband is waylaid from her practical, heartbreak-proof plan when she meets a gorgeous professor—and prince in disguise—who will do anything to prove to her that love and happily ever after can be theirs.
Emma Yoon runs a small business as a culinary instructor in Los Angeles teaching Korean royal court cuisine to young ladies striving to marry into the exclusive upper-crust Korean families. She has built her business alongside her renowned Korean matchmaker godmother, which brings her one step closer to her dream of opening a culinary school of her own. When her godmother’s fellow matchmakers decide to meddle in Emma’s love life to sabotage her godmother and indirectly push Emma’s dream out of reach, Emma must go on a series of arranged first dates to find the perfect-on-paper husband to help save her godmother’s reputation and her dream — even if she’s not ready for love. After a series of disastrous first dates, she meets Michel Aubert, a professor at USC, and begins to wonder if she might reevaluate her position on love.
Prince Michel Aubert is bound by duty and responsibility to his country, but an arranged marriage is the last thing he wants. If he is going to spend his life in service of his people, he wants someone he loves and trusts by his side. He needs to find a woman who loves him for who he is before his engagement to his handpicked bride is announced. Emma Yoon might be just the woman he is looking for.
