Nora Vance is a quietly brilliant ghostwriter who has spent five years writing speeches, press statements, and even love letters for powerful people anonymously. She's good at disappearing into other people's words. So when cold, ruthless tech CEO Damien Ashford needs someone to impersonate his late fiancée at a high-stakes board dinner (to protect a merger deal that hinges on his "stable personal life"), Nora is hired as the last resort. One night. One dinner. It is easy money. Who wouldn't want that? Except Damien's rivals recognize the deception immediately and use it as leverage. Now Nora is trapped in a 30-day fake engagement with a man who speaks in orders, sleeps three hours a night, and hasn't smiled since 2019. What Damien doesn't know is that Nora has been writing his public persona for years as a ghostwriter including all his TED Talk, his viral op-ed on leadership, the heartfelt eulogy for his father. She built the version of him the world admires. And the more she lives inside his world, the more she realizes the real Damien is nothing like the man she wrote, and somehow more. What Nora doesn't know is that Damien recognized her voice the moment she walked in.
