We celebrate Lunar New Year and enter the year of the rabbit. Olivia is about to enter a new business venture, taking over her mother's matchmaking company. Just as she takes it to new heights, enters LA's most eligible bachelor Bennet O'Brien. He is handsome, wealthy, and has turned her business into an app. Will her instincts allow her to beat an algorithm? 

Olivia begins to hatch a plan to spy on the competition and hack Bennet's ZodiaCupid app; she matches him for a date. Brash and arrogant, she is immediately put off. Horses and Rats don't naturally mix. However, her heart can't stop racing around him. Will her spying on him backfire? When her ruse is found out during a podcast, it puts them both in direct competition. Can they match each other using their resources? Can they make each other fall in love? A fun story that has a great backstory on Chinese matchmaking.
