About this audiobook
When ambitious marketing executive Maya Tran lands in Hoi An to launch a major tourism campaign, she expects tight schedules and perfect results—not a collision with Mihn Nguyen, a guarded local historian determined to protect his community’s traditions.
She’s sunshine and strategy.
He’s grumpy, principled, and impossible to impress.
And now they’re stuck working side by side.
As lanterns glow over the river and a storm threatens the festival, Maya and Quang discover that beneath their differences lies a quiet, undeniable connection. But with career pressures rising and cultural lines drawn, they must decide whether new beginnings are worth the risks they’ve both spent years avoiding.
A heartfelt clean, wholesome romance about belonging, second chances, and finding love where you least expect it.
