The Story

Law, Chaos & the Occasional Dumpling

Cindy Lou Chen didn't plan to become the most chaotic lawyer in New York City. She just wanted to help people, pay off her student loans, and maybe—maybe—figure out which of the two men in her life is actually worth the trouble.

But when a bakery owner walks into her office accused of murder, Cindy Lou's life becomes a whirlwind of evidence rooms, gala heists, and romantic tension that never quite boils over. Each case is more impossible than the last. Each book is funnier, faster, and more romantic than the one before.

If you love cozy mysteries with smart heroines, laugh-out-loud moments, and just enough romantic tension to keep you turning pages at 2 AM—this series is for you. Warning: may cause spontaneous dumpling cravings.
