Maya Murphy, a witty and ambitious Black writer, has always dreamed of love but never expected it to come in the form of Daniel Chan—a meticulous, Cantonese-American accountant who’s more comfortable balancing numbers than navigating matters of the heart. Their fateful meeting at a cozy San Francisco coffee shop sparks an unexpected connection, leading to a whirlwind romance filled with quirky dates, unforgettable moments, and cultural discoveries.
As Maya and Daniel grow closer, their differences—whether in career, culture, or family traditions—become both a challenge and a source of strength. Maya finds herself learning the intricate rules of mahjong from Daniel’s playful parents, braving spicy dishes at family dinners, and discovering a love that’s deeper than anything she could have written.
But with each laugh, lesson, and tender moment, Maya begins to realize that love isn’t just about finding the right person—it’s about embracing the beautiful, messy, and sometimes surprising journey of two worlds coming together. In this heartwarming, romantic comedy, Maya and Daniel prove that sometimes the most unexpected pairings can lead to a happily-ever-after.
