Fake heiress. Real secrets. One sizzling summer she’ll never forget.

Event planner Valerie Peng never planned on spending her summer sipping champagne at a lakefront estate, dodging suspicious socialites, or pretending to be anyone’s long-lost daughter. But when a very public, deeply mortifying mishap lands her in hot water—and her career in a hot mess—her uber-wealthy older client makes her an offer she can’t refuse: come to his glamorous summer home and pose as the long-lost daughter he believes his conniving family has hidden from him. In exchange? Time away from her actual life...and the chance to help uncover a long-buried secret.

But Cinderella needs some magic for this big of a makeover. Enter Nico Hever: her client’s maddeningly perfect right-hand man. He’s organized, meticulous, impossible to read, and infuriatingly handsome. But even though he claims this scheme is a capital-M Mistake, Nico’s the only person she can trust to have her back. As they navigate a world of eccentric matriarchs, class divides, and private family feuds, their chemistry is as undeniable as it is ill-timed.

Caught between pretending to belong and unexpectedly finding where she truly fits in, Valerie’s summer is about to get far more complicated than she ever planned.

I struggled to get in to this book and quit after the first couple hours, the narration put me to sleep, there is a big difference in acting the book and reading it, and it was definitely being read with minimal inflection or emotion.

DNF narration is boring.

Some second hand embarrassment to get through at the beginning, but totally worth it for this sweet story with lovable characters with realistic foibles that they work through together and become stronger.

creative and sweet story

Enjoyed the character development, the main characters felt well-thought-out and three-dimensional. The supporting cast of characters gave the story Jeff and added to the plot line. I enjoyed the chemistry between Nico and Valerie
