'A world of differences, an unexpected forever.
'Belly dancing, and black belt karate teacher, Marnie Stern has loved her time in Hong Kong, but now she’s under pressure to return home to Australia. Her grandparents want her to find a husband, build a home and start a family.
'The last person they'd want her to share her first date with is Daniel Tam. After all, for an Observant Jewish girl like Marnie, dating is for finding a husband. And Daniel is not husband material. Sure he's smart, kind, funny and a successful lawyer. But he's not Jewish. They can never be more than friends.
'When Typhoon Marnie hits Daniel's life, he's on the cusp of the most important moment in his career, with a lucrative job in London, and an escape route from his grandparents’ persistent encouragement to get married.
'But then he meets Marnie, and in two short weeks she turns his world, and his opinion about love upside down. She won’t, and can’t, cause her grandparents pain, by dating him, as it would cause a scandal in the small community where her grandfather is a respected Rabbi.
'Will they ever have a chance at their unexpected forever?
'If you love forbidden romance where the hero and heroine have a clash of cultures, then this is the book for you.' (Publication summary)
