A Chinatown Christmas
(2022)(The first book in the Chen Family Cuisine series)
A novel by Kailin Gow and Nancy Wu
"A Chinatown Christmas" refers to the saying that you can always find a restaurant open on Christmas day in Chinatown when all the other restaurants are closed.
Billionaire Jake Austin, has spent the last five years working through Christmas as he built his start up to a billion-dollar corporation. Every year, he's spent Christmas Day eating at the Chen Family Cuisine Restaurant, located in his local Chinatown down the street from his house. It was the only restaurant opened in town.
Every year, he always ate alone. Like the cold ruthless and arrogant billionaire that he was. Until this year, when someone decided to sit at his table.
****
Eldest daughter of the American-born Chen family in California, Charisma Chen has noticed the reclusive Jake Austin dine alone at her family's restaurant for years. Ever since he brutally berated her on her first day of work at his start up, she's kept her distance, even at her own family restaurant where she and her sisters would gather for Christmas every year to spend Christmas with her parents, who insisted on keeping the restaurant open even on Christmas Day.
This year, Charisma is going to close the restaurant for the first time on Christmas Day to give her parents a break. But for some reason, when Jake Austin shows up at the restaurant, something inside of Charisma makes her change her mind.
Something that has something to do with her past or was it something to do with the ancient folklore or the Chen Family Cuisine?
** A Chinatown Christmas is an enemies-to-lover romantic comedy with heart and a touch of magic appropriate for age 14 and up!
Genre: Young Adult Romance
