Olivia Daley's travel itinerary might be unusual, but she believes the best cure for a broken heart is a radical change of scenery.

Exotic, vibrant China is far enough from rainy gray England to be just that! Teaching English at the Chang-Ming School is supposed to keep her safely occupied, but a reckless pupil and a wobbly ladder quickly upend those quiet plans!

A trip to the local clinic introduces her to Dr. Lang Mitchell, a tall, handsome physician whose gentle touch on her scraped arm sends unexpected tremors through her defenses.

In the hustle and bustle of Beijing, Olivia is starting a whole new adventure…. Dr. Lang Mitchell may be three-quarters English, but his deep roots belong to an ancient family who cherish romance above all else.

Guarding her feelings ought to be simple for a sensible woman, yet his patient devotion is far too disarming to resist! She's mesmerized by the ancient legends of love, and soon finds herself wishing she could be the bride who wore red.


  • Multicultural Romance: English schoolteacher Olivia Daley and Chinese-British doctor Lang Mitchell navigate deep family roots, cultural traditions, and two thousand years of history in Beijing.
