Synopsis
Beloved author Lily Chu brings the charm in a clever, funny, and beautifully written contemporary romance about a fake heiress, a real secret scandal, and one sizzling summer she'll never forget.
When a viral fiasco torpedoes event planner Valerie Peng's career, her ultra-wealthy client makes a wild offer: spend the summer at his lakefront estate posing as the long-lost daughter he swears his conniving family hid from him. New wardrobe, new name, new rules-what could go wrong?
Enter Nico Hever, the boss's maddeningly perfect executive assistant. He's organised to a fault, impossible to read, and absolutely the last man Valerie should be noticing-especially since he's the only one who knows she's faking it. But as they navigate sharp-eyed matriarchs, power plays, and private family feuds, the sparks they keep dodging start to look a lot like destiny.
Caught between pretending to belong and finally finding where she fits, Valerie has to decide if she's here to keep a secret…or claim a life (and love) that's all her own.
**Mystery and romance abound in this quirky and compelling romantic comedy from Lily Chu, offering the perfect summertime read for fans of contemporary love stories.
