La romance qui a ému l'amérique.Stella Lane est une jeune femme brillante pour qui les chiffres n'ont aucun secret. Si sa carrière professionnelle est parfaitement épanouie, sa vie personnelle est plutôt un échec. Elle est affectée du syndrome d'Asperger, une forme d'autisme, qui la tient éloignée des autres. Comment se faire des amis lorsqu'on cumule une grande timidité et une franchise un peu brutale ? Quant à sa vie amoureuse... Elle est inexistante. Stella comprend mal l'intérêt d'avoir un homme dans sa vie mais, curieuse et poussée par sa mère qui se désespère de la voir célibataire, elle décide de résoudre ce problème comme une équation mathé matique : avec méthode et détermination. Elle sollicite les services d'un escort boy pour qu'il lui apprenne les bases des relations amoureuses. Michael loue son corps, à contrecoeur, aux femmes sensibles à son charme. Quand il fait la connaissance de Stella, il est stupéfait : pourquoi une si jolie jeune femme, tellement brillante, a-t-elle besoin de ses services ? Il va vite découvrir sa timidité, ses craintes. Ensemble, ils vont apprendre à les dompter, à vaincre le mur qui se dresse entre Stella et le bonheur. « Adorable, sexy et intelligent... le livre que j'avais envie de lire ! » Christina Lauren

'Such a fun read... Original and sexy and sensitive.' Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist, on The Kiss Quotient
__________________
From the bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient
Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, not big, important emotions - like grief. And love. He thinks he's defective. His family knows better - that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly refuses to consider a relationship, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.
As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. So when the opportunity arises to go to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down. This could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go quite as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working... but only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection.
As Esme's time in the United States dwindles, will Khai let his head catch up with his heart? Will he find the strength to let go, and let love in?
