Out on March 17, 2026
Preorder The Fortune Flip:
This charming rom-com from an author whose writing is “deeply romantic, real, funny, and heartfelt” (Christina Lauren) is filled with Chinese traditions, second chances, and a luck-changing love story that will make readers of Helen Hoang, Jasmine Guillory, and Sarah Adams swoon.
Hazel Yen would love to be that person who doesn’t believe in bad luck. But having lost her job, her mom, her optimism, and even her dim-sum leftovers, she’s sitting in a fortune teller’s booth, desperate for a sign—any sign—that her luck might change. Which is when fate crashes into her, disguised as Logan Wells and his utterly chaotic cat.
Except after one spontaneous and mind-melting kiss, Hazel’s terrible misfortune starts taking a turn for the miraculous. Money problems vanish. A new job lands in her lap. And she’s crushing—hard—on the guy who started it all. Only there’s a problem: Logan’s luck has taken a turn for the worse. A shared lottery ticket could be just the answer they’re seeking or a disaster waiting to happen. Has Hazel’s fortune truly changed? And if so, could winning at life mean losing at love?

Content Guidance
While The Fortune Flip is a rom-com and you can expect a happily ever after, I do want to let you know about some of the sensitive topics explored in this novel in case you’re the type of reader who prefers that. If you think of content warnings as spoilers, skip the next paragraph.
Please be aware that job loss, death of a parent (in the past, off page), parental gambling addiction, and references to drunk driving (in the past, off page) are integrated into this story. I’ve done my best to handle these topics with compassion and thoughtfulness. Please read with care.
