Matched in Seoul, Found in Love
Alex Alvin
Perfect for readers who enjoyed Beach Read and The Kiss Quotient, this multicultural romance tackles themes of identity, family pressure, and finding authentic connection in an age of digital matchmaking.
When Jason Lee's mother enrolls him in Korea's best dating app, the 37-year-old podiatrist thinks his problems are solved. After years of loneliness in America, the sophisticated AI algorithm is about to find him the perfect Korean wife. But when a chance encounter with his neighbor's cat-sitter, Kiana, turns his carefully planned life upside down, Jason discovers that love doesn't follow algorithms—or cultural expectations.
Kiana Nasiri, a sharp-witted project manager recovering from her own romantic disasters, never expected to find herself investigating a 50-year-old Cold War mystery with a near stranger. As they unravel the tragic story of a Russian defector and the two women who loved him, Jason and Kiana's friendship deepens into something neither saw coming.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Washington D.C.'s dating scene and Seoul's glittering cityscape, this witty and heartfelt novel explores the collision between tradition and desire, the courage it takes to choose love over expectations, and the surprising ways our hearts can lead us home.
A story about taking risks, breaking rules, and discovering that sometimes the algorithm of the heart is the only one that matters. With humor, heart, and a cast of unforgettable characters (including Percy, the scene-stealing orange kitten), Matched in Seoul, Found in Love proves that the best relationships are the ones we never saw coming.
