Ash Villahermosa, the ambitious Editor-in-Chief of a struggling publishing company, never imagined that her harmless birthday wish would transport her into the world of Oneirataxia-the very novel that holds the key to her company's survival. To return home and secure her company's future, she must remain in the novel until its ending. The rules are simple: don't interfere with the plot, and most importantly, don't fall in love with Benjamin Carson. Benjamin is the story's leading man-a powerful tycoon destined to end up with the beautiful supermodel, Callie Jersen. All Ash has to do is sit back and let the story unfold. But when Benjamin begins gravitating toward her instead of Callie, the lines between fiction and reality start to blur. Now trapped in a story she was never meant to be part of, Ash must decide whether protecting the ending is worth sacrificing her own heart.
