HOW TO UPEND YOUR LIFE:Get fired by gross, handsy bossFail to do laundry (again)Be mistaken for famous Chinese actressFall head-first into glitzy new worldGracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly "friendly" boss, and yes she still hasn' t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she' s healthy, she' s (somewhat) happy, and she' s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema' s golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie' s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in. The catch? Gracie will have to be escorted by Sam, the most attractive-and infuriating-man Gracie' s ever met. If it means getting the money she needs for her mother, Gracie' s in. Soon Gracie moves into a world of luxury she never knew existed. But resisting Sam, and playing the role of an elegant movie star, proves more difficult than she ever imagined-especially when she learns the real reason Fangli so desperately needs her help. In the end all the lists in the world won' t be able to help Gracie keep up this elaborate ruse without losing herself. . . and her heart.
