"Hilariously relatable." —TALIA HIBBERT, USA Today bestselling author, on The Stand-In

For Dee Kwan, each day epitomizes perfection. Seriously. She resides in her cherished abode, revels in her dream job, and engages in an amusing rivalry with a devastatingly attractive "nemesis" who seems unperturbed by her habitual victories in their beloved online game. Could life possibly be any more ideal? (Obviously not. It can only plummet into utter chaos.)

Soon, Dee finds herself accommodating her parents and a prickly estranged grandmother in her adorably snug home. Subsequently, she plunges headfirst into a crisis management role at the prestigious luxury fashion empire, Celeste. To compound matters, she discovers that her nemesis, the irresistible Teddy, also toils within Celeste's opulent confines—and he is nothing like the man she presumed him to be.

Before she can protest, Teddy discloses his dual persona: he's the heir apparent to the CEO and seeks Dee's assistance in reforming Celeste into a more equitable enterprise. This endeavor necessitates dismantling the entrenched establishment, including his own father, who obstructs their path to transformation.

Now embroiled in a tumultuous corporate upheaval, Dee confronts the stark choice of discarding her rose-tinted glasses and confronting reality. She must grapple with her true self, her burgeoning emotions for Teddy, and the sacrifices she's willing to make to effect genuine change.
