[Premium Sourcing] Lucie Yi Is Not a Romantic by Lauren Ho | Asian Romcom

[100% ORIGINAL — OFFICIAL G.P. PUTNAM'S SONS EDITION]

--------------------------------------------------

💖 SHE'S GIVEN UP ON LOVE. BUT SHE HASN'T GIVEN UP ON BECOMING A MOTHER.

Lucie Yi is done waiting for Mr. Right.

After a devastating breakup derails her plans for children, the ambitious management consultant decides to take matters into her own hands.

Her solution?

A co-parenting website.

No dating.

No marriage.

No messy romance.

Just find the right man to have a child with — and keep things completely platonic.

Then Lucie meets Collin Read.

He's honest. He shares her cultural background. He's ready to become a father.

In other words, he's Mr. Right Enough.

But when Lucie becomes pregnant and they return to Singapore, her carefully planned arrangement starts falling apart.

Her traditional family has questions.

Her ex-fiancé suddenly wants her back.

And the man who was never supposed to become anything more than a co-parent might be becoming something much more dangerous:

Someone she could actually fall in love with. ❤️
