El amor no estaba en el menú. Dylan Tang quiere ganar un concurso de pasteles de luna en el Festival del Medio Otoño, en recuerdo de su madre y para dar publicidad a Guerreros del Wok, el local de comida china para llevar de su tía en Brooklyn, al que no le va demasiado bien. Entra en escena Theo Somers, encantador, rico y con una sonrisa que provoca que el estómago de Dylan haga saltos mortales. Cuando Theo hace una donación considerable a Guerreros del Wok, Dylan acepta a regañadientes fingir ser su novio en una boda familiar en los Hamptons para devolverle el favor. En el deslumbrante mundo de Theo, su romance se supone que es una farsa, pero Dylan se enamora. De verdad. Y con el concurso a la vuelta de la esquina, no puede arriesgarse a distraerse con los problemas de los ricos. ¿Podrá Dylan salvar el negocio de su familia y seguir a su corazón, o fracasará en ambas cosas?

A snake spirit transforms into a boy and must hide his true identity after falling for a headstrong prince in this lush, romantic retelling of the traditional Chinese folktale. When Prince Xian was a boy, a white snake bit his mother and condemned her to a slow, painful death. The only known cure is an elusive spirit pearl—or an antidote created from the rare white snake itself. Desperate and determined, Xian travels to the city of Changle, where an oracle predicted he would find and capture a white snake. Seven years ago, Zhen, a white snake in the West Lake, consumed a coveted spirit pearl, which gave him special powers—including the ability to change into human form. In Changle, Xian encounters an enigmatic but beautiful stable boy named Zhen. The two are immediately drawn to each other, but Zhen soon realizes that he is the white snake Xian is hunting. As their feelings grow deeper, will the truth about Zhen’s identity tear them apart? Coming October 15, 2024 from Quill Tree/HarperCollins (US) and Macmillan (UK)
