1. If We Ever Meet Again
If We Ever Meet Again (2020)[1-2] follows interior design student Farrah Lin and former college quarterback Blake Ryan as they meet during a study-abroad program in Shanghai. Their attraction develops alongside Farrah’s design ambitions and Blake’s search for a future beyond football.[9]
This novel establishes the friends’ history and opens a romance that continues in If the Sun Never Sets.[9-10]
2. If the Sun Never Sets
If the Sun Never Sets (2020)[3-4] reunites Farrah and Blake in New York five years after Shanghai when he hires her to design his condominium. Past hurt complicates their professional arrangement while Blake tries to earn another chance.[10]
This second half of their story addresses the unresolved history from If We Ever Meet Again and completes their central relationship arc.[9-10]
3. If Love Had a Price
If Love Had a Price (2020)[5-6] follows heiress Kris Carrera as she recruits aspiring actor Nate Reynolds to expose her father’s fiancée during a summer in Los Angeles. Their staged relationship becomes complicated by attraction, family obligations, and financial differences.[11]
Kris’s self-contained romance expands the Shanghai group’s story beyond Farrah and Blake. Its main narrative precedes If the Sun Never Sets, although its epilogues reach further ahead.[10-11]
4. If We Were Perfect
If We Were Perfect (2020)[7-8] follows Olivia Tang when a flooded apartment leaves her sharing a home with her ex-boyfriend, bakery owner Sammy Yu, in San Francisco. Renewed attraction forces them to reconsider their past as they manage career pressures and family expectations.[12]
This novel gives a relationship introduced during the Shanghai year its own self-contained second-chance story, with earlier books providing context for the couple’s place among their friends.[9-12]
