Publisher Description
She’s built a life on precision. He’s about to shatter it with one secret.
Ariadne Hui’s plan is airtight: become partner at Toronto’s most prestigious law firm, stay focused, and don’t let emotions—or people—get in the way. Her life is perfectly controlled, down to the minute.
Then Jihoon arrives.
He's her roommate’s cousin, supposedly just visiting from Seoul to mend a broken heart. Quiet, thoughtful, and unexpectedly funny, Jihoon is kindness and chaos wrapped in one dangerously charming package. Ari tries to ignore him. She fails. Spectacularly.
What begins as a harmless connection spirals into something Ari never planned for—and when Jihoon’s real identity makes headlines, Ari is thrust into a global spotlight that threatens everything she’s worked for.
Suddenly, the woman who had all the answers is questioning everything. Who is she beneath the ambition? And who does she want to be when the world is watching?
Fall in love with this emotionally rich, laugh-out-loud rom-com featuring witty banter, found family, and a K-pop celebrity romance that blends escapism and charm with reality and emotional depth.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this enthralling contemporary romance from Chu (The Stand In), a straitlaced woman's life is turned upside down when she unknowingly falls for one of the most famous men in the world. Lawyer Ariadne "Ari" Hui works tirelessly toward becoming a partner at her prestigious Toronto law firm—until her roommate, Hana, begs her to let Hana's cousin, Choi Jihoon, crash at their apartment to escape from a mysterious breakup back in Korea. Charming and enigmatic Jihoon proves to be a delicious distraction from Ari's goals, bringing out a warmth and courage in her that she didn't know existed. But when she discovers that Jihoon has been hiding why he's really there—and who he really is—their connection is put to the test. Chu easily captures the heart-fluttering elation of falling in love, but the story is just as much about Ari's personal growth as she works through her self-sabotaging tendencies and learns to open up. Readers will have no trouble rooting for this delightful heroine.
