Pride and Preston Lin | Christina Hwang Dudley

2 posts | 1 read | 4 to read

Lissie Cheng is the middle of three sisters, orphaned and taken in by their aunt and uncle. Both her older sister, Jenny, and she work in the family restaurant while they pursue their education and career dreams. When Lissie accidentally serves a dish containing shellfish paste to an allergic customer, she runs afoul of the wealthy Lin family. Their golden boy, Preston, a star swimmer and Stanford Ph.D. student, is as handsome as he is self-righteous. Lissie hates him and everything he stands for, but circumstances keep bringing them together. Can she overcome her pride and her initial misgivings about Preston Lin and his condescending mother? Will love prevail, and will these enemies turn into lovers? Pride and Preston Lin by popular romance writer Christina Hwang Dudley is a hilarious and earnest contemporary riff on Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice. And readers will undoubtedly root for Lissie Cheng, a sassy new Elizabeth Bennet for our times, to find lasting love and happiness.
