$9.24The Story
Caught between a relentless tech job, her adoring fiancé, and an unexpected new flame, Mei must learn what it means to choose herself.
When Mei Li runs into Alexandre Brodeur at a family function, there's no denying their chemistry. It turns out Alexandre, whose brother is married to Mei's younger sister, is back in New York rebuilding his life after two decades toiling away in academic research. Somehow, Alexandre's different from the young scientist Mei met years ago. His intelligent eyes and quiet air of mystery have a magnetic effect, drawing her in like never before. But Mei's carefully constructed life has no room for Alexandre. She's engaged to Joey, a fellow Queens native who keeps her grounded as she pulls eighty-hour weeks at Livin, the tech world's hottest startup. After a childhood marked by financial and emotional turmoil, Mei finally has the stability she's always craved. In Mei's brief moments away from her crushing workload, Alexandre is an uncomfortably enticing presence. It doesn't take long for their thoughtful conversations and his electric gaze to get under her skin, leaving Mei to wonder what she really wants in work, life, and love. With her wedding date fast approaching, Mei has to make an impossible choice between two very different men. And after she does, she still must figure out what it truly means to have it all.
