Description:
The Kiss Quotient
It's
high time for Stella Lane to settle down and find a husband - or so her
mother tells her. This is no easy task for a wealthy, successful woman
like Stella, who also happens to have Asperger's. Analyzing data is
easy; handling the awkwardness of one-on-one dates is hard. To overcome
her lack of dating experience, Stella decides to hire a male escort to
teach her how to be a good girlfriend.
Faced
with mounting bills, Michael decides to use his good looks and charm to
make extra cash on the side. He has a very firm no repeat customer
policy, but he's tempted to bend that rule when Stella approaches him
with an unconventional proposal.
The
more time they spend together, the harder Michael falls for this
disarming woman with a beautiful mind, and Stella discovers that love
defies logic.
The Bride Test
Khai
Diep has no feelings. Well, not big, important emotions - like grief.
And love. He thinks he's defective. His family knows better - that his
autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly
refuses to consider a relationship, 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. So when the opportunity arises to go to
America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down. This could
be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go quite
as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working... but only on
herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can
never return her affection.
As
Esme's time in the United States dwindles, will Khai let his head catch
up with his heart? Will he find the strength to let go, and let love
in?
The Heart Principle
When
violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral
YouTube video, she finds herself overwhelmed trying to live up to it.
And when her boyfriend of five years announces that he wants an open
relationship, a hurt and angry Anna decides to embark on a string of
one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better.
Enter
tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep. Their first attempt at a
one-night stand fails, as does their second and their third - because
being with Quan is about more than sex. But when tragedy strikes Anna's
family, she takes on a role that threatens to destroy her. Now, Anna and
Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also
have to fight for themselves.
