The Library of Flowers is now out

Stunning cover art by Sija Hong.

My first women’s fiction book, The Library of Flowers, is officially out in the world, under the pen name L.C. Chu. This story was years in the making (from 2015!), and combined my love for perfume and history with Lucy’s journey. You can get The Library of Flowers wherever you buy books and also in audio, narrated by Cindy Kay. Unlike my romances, it’s not exclusive to any one platform, so you can listen on multiple ones.

It was a deep pleasure to write this book, which mixes historical chapters into the contemporary story, and I’m so happy to be able to finally share it with you.

Rich Girl Summer - Cosmo Reads

Rich Girl Summer is available for pre-order in print AND it’s a Cosmo Reads book! Pre-order is on now for July 7, 2026.

Fake heiress. Real secrets. One sizzling summer she’ll never forget. Narrated by real-life married couple Phillipa Soo and Steven Pasquale.

Event planner Valerie Peng never planned on spending her summer sipping champagne at a lakefront estate, dodging suspicious socialites, or pretending to be anyone’s long-lost daughter. But when a very public, deeply mortifying mishap lands her in hot water—and her career in a hot mess—her uber-wealthy older client makes her an offer she can’t refuse: come to his glamorous summer home and pose as the long-lost daughter he believes his conniving family has hidden from him. In exchange? Time away from her actual life ... and the chance to help uncover a long-buried secret.

But Cinderella needs some magic for this big of a makeover. Enter Nico Hever: her client’s maddeningly perfect right-hand man. He’s organized, meticulous, impossible to read, and infuriatingly handsome. But even though he claims this scheme is a capital-M Mistake, Nico’s the only person she can trust to have her back. As they navigate a world of eccentric matriarchs, class divides, and private family feuds, their chemistry is as undeniable as it is ill-timed.

Caught between pretending to belong and unexpectedly finding where she truly fits in, Valerie’s summer is about to get far more complicated than she ever planned.

Just Kiss Already - cover reveal

Enemies. Coworkers. Accidental Icons.

Dr. Ben Song likes his life orderly, predictable, and blissfully private. By day, he’s a forensic anthropologist running a controversial research project. By night, he’s the anonymous author of a bestselling cozy mystery series. What he absolutely doesn’t need? One viral moment turning him into the internet’s new favorite grumpy heartthrob.

Lauren Wei has built her career in the spotlight—and paid for it. A former teen star turned serious filmmaker, she’s determined to prove she’s more than her past persona. With her first feature film about to premiere and a press tour that could make or break her future, she can’t afford distractions. Especially not the brilliant, infuriating author whose book she adapted…and whose visibly unimpressed reaction to her movie just made him a viral meme.

When the studio forces Ben and Lauren to share the press circuit to capitalize on the moment, sparks fly. But between industry politics, public scrutiny, and a growing sense they might actually be perfectly imperfect for each other after all, their reluctant partnership soon turns into something far more complicated....
