Fluent

Fluent is a steamy, slow-burn literary romance set in modern-day Shanghai. When American teacher Thomas Wright begins his first semester at a Chinese university, he expects language barriers and lesson plans, not the emotional minefield that unfolds when he catches the attention of two very different students.Lin Chen is brilliant, disciplined, and impossibly elegant. Meili Zhang is bold, impulsive, and impossible to ignore. As both women orbit closer to Thomas and each other he finds himself drawn into a web of competition, seduction, and cultural missteps.Blending sharp dialogue, simmering tension, and the electric atmosphere of life abroad, Fluent explores the complexities of power, attraction, and the blurry lines between teacher and student, East and West, professionalism and passion.Perfect for fans of Normal People, Call Me By Your Name, and My Year Abroad.
