Sushi "Sushmita Costales" is the smart, sassy, and totally heartless only heiress of the Costales Mall fortune. Her father thinks she's all brains but has zero compassion-and honestly, he's not wrong. She doesn't believe in love and has no problem marrying any man who can be a valuable asset to her father's company. Determined to change her, Sushi's father decided to send her off in a small town in Guimaras, kung saan nakatira ang isang malapit na kaibigan ng ama niya para turuan siyang makisama at mamuhay ng simple. She will then marry the man her father had chosen for her when she comes back. Pierce Kyries Allede o mas kilala bilang Pier, ang nag-iisang apo ng kaibigan ng ama ni Sushi at namamahala sa malawak na ektarya na manggahan ng mga Allede sa Guimaras. Pier is the opposite of a prince charming or any elite bachelor in the city. He was good-looking but hopelessly living a poor life, irritatingly bossy, way too talkative, and so old-fashioned that he made her feel like she'd time-traveled without consent. Buwesit si Sushi sa binata pero bakit nagseselos na siya kapag may kakulitan itong ibang babae? Bakit naiinis na siya kapag dini-deadma siya nito? Bakit gusto niya laging makita itong nakangiti sa kanya at gwapong nagbubunot ng damo sa likod ng maliit nilang bahay? Higit sa lahat, bakit kumakabog na nang mabilis ang puso niya sa tuwing nakikita niya ito? God, Pier is poor, but is Sushi in love? Book Cover Background: Canva Couple Illustrations: Heynette
