For fans of The People We Meet on Vacation and everything K-Pop comes a hilarious and thoughtful story of fame, family, and love.
"Hilarious and relatable." —Talia Hibbert, USA Today bestselling author for The Stand-In
Ariadne Hui thrives on routine. So what if everything in her life is planned down to the minute: that’s the way she likes it. If she’s going to make partner in Toronto’s most prestigious law firm, she needs to stay focused at all times.
But when she comes home after yet another soul-sucking day to find an unfamiliar, gorgeous man camped out in her living room, focus is the last thing on her mind. Especially when her roommate explains this is Choi Jihoon, her cousin freshly arrived from Seoul to mend a broken heart. He just needs a few weeks to rest and heal; Ari will barely even know he’s there. (Yeah, right.)
Jihoon is kindness and chaos personified, and it isn’t long before she’s falling, hard. But when one wrong step leads to a shocking truth, Ari finds herself thrust onto the world stage: not as the competent, steely lawyer she’s fought so hard to become, but as the mystery woman on the arm of a man the entire world claims to know. Now with her heart, her future, and her sense of self on the line, Ari will have to cut through all the pretty lies to find the truth of her relationship…and discover the Ariadne Hui she’s finally ready to be.
WHO IS ARIADNE HUI?
• Laser-focused lawyer climbing the corporate ladder
• “Perfect” daughter living her father’s dream
• Shocking love interest of South Korea’s hottest star
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.
