Cheese Donuts Are Most Definitely Not Subpar

Did someone say they hate cheese donuts? Twenty-three-year-old Ellie Maharani doesn’ t know much about the PTA of her nieces’ school. But she does know that nobody steals her sister’ s presidency from under her nose. She volunteers to sit in as the acting PTA chairperson until her sister is back from overseas, unaware that the job comes with a condescending co-captain who criticizes everything she does, including her choice of donuts. The last thing Dion Saputra needs is more PTA work outside his ER job. He could refuse, but doing so would jeopardize the prominent musical gala the school is hosting. Dion would do anything for his uncle— the school’ s principal— who has raised him since his father died, even if it means playing nice to the clueless co-captain who thinks cheese donuts are better than mochaccino. Between meetings and rehearsals, stolen kisses and an orchestrated PTA coup, Ellie and Dion begin to realize that maybe they don’ t despise each other’ s guts? Swoon-worthy, endearing, and full of heart, this is a story about finding yourself, sticking up for your family, and falling in love with cheese donuts.
