Sari Romero, a Filipino-American historical fiction novelist in New York, is pressured by her editor to write a bestselling romcom before her real debut can be published. The problem: Sari doesn't believe in romance. Raised by a mother and aunts who thrived after their separation, she's built her whole adult identity on the idea that love is a distraction from ambition. When a disastrous string of blind dates keeps colliding, literally, with the same infuriating, charming young professor, Logan Watson, he offers to help her find the "perfect meet cute" as recompense. What starts as research for her novel becomes the real thing neither of them saw coming.
