She had long accepted that she would never fall in love. Lady Eleanor Ashcroft would rather lose herself in dusty books and impossible dreams than spend another evening entertaining gentlemen who mistook wealth for wit. While her mother insists every ball could lead to the perfect match, Eleanor is convinced the right conversation is far rarer than the right husband. Then, at a masquerade ball she never wished to attend, she meets a mysterious boy on a quiet balcony. He knows nothing of polite society, everything about books, and somehow manages to outwit her at every turn. By the time the masks come off... he is gone. Armed with nothing but a memory, a handful of unanswered questions, and a determination that borders on foolishness, Eleanor embarks on a journey that may lead her to the one person she cannot forget-or to truths far greater than she ever imagined. Some meetings are planned. Others change the course of two lives forever.

Jane Sinclair runs the family bookshop, lives above it in contented independence, and has spent the past year building a careful conviction: that the newly arrived village doctor - starchy and correct with everyone else - is entirely different with her, and that the difference means something. Dr. Thomas Langley likes Jane enormously. He simply hasn't worked out yet what enormously actually means. She's warm, outgoing, and likes to argue - nothing at all like the composed, correct sort of woman he's always assumed he was meant to end up with. So when a beautiful, well-connected socialite arrives in the village for the summer, looking like everything he supposedly wants, Thomas is intrigued -- and Jane begins to think she may have misjudged her handsome village doctor.

One night in the opulent Suite 1808 of The St. Regis New York, Zoe Carter,a sharp-witted reader of trashy CEO novels, wakes up to her worst nightmare: she's no longer herself. She's been thrust into the body of Emily Miller, the doomed cannon fodder character in "Manhattan's Ice King," the very novel she just finished deriding. Trapped in the opening act of a scandal meticulously orchestrated by the venomous socialite Isabelle Thorne, Emily knows the script: public humiliation, ruin, and a swift, tragic exit. But this new Emily isn't playing by the book. Armed with her meta-knowledge of the plot, a twenty-first-century attitude, and a fierce will to survive, she's determined to flip the script on her predetermined fate. Forced into a sham engagement with the novel's infuriatingly handsome and glacially cold protagonist, billionaire CEO Alexander Sterling, Emily must navigate the treacherous waters of Manhattan's elite. As she dodges Isabelle's devious schemes and delivers satisfying comeuppance to those who underestimated her, she starts to derail the original storyline in ways she never predicted. But changing the plot comes with its own dangers. The lines between fiction and reality blur, and Alexander, the "by-the-book" CEO, finds himself increasingly captivated by this new, unpredictable Emily who defies his every expectation. As hidden agendas unravel and the "secret" of Suite 1808 proves to be far more sinister than the novel let on, Emily must decide if she can trust the man she once dismissed as a mere character. Can a cannon fodder character truly rewrite her destiny, outsmart a master manipulator, and find an unexpected love in a world designed to be her downfall? Or will the original author always have the final say?
