      COME RIVOLUZIONARE LA TUA VITA: Essere licenziata dal capo invadente Non fare il bucato (di nuovo) Essere scambiata per una famosa attrice cinese Cadere a capofitto in un nuovo mondo scintillante Gracie Reed sta affrontando la vita. Certo, è stata licenziata dal suo capo eccessivamente "amichevole", e sì, non è ancora riuscita a mettere sua madre nella casa di riposo dei loro sogni, ma sta bene, è (in parte) felice e sta (per lo più) tenendo tutto insieme. Ma quando un misterioso SUV si ferma accanto a lei, rivelando la coppia d'oro del cinema cinese Wei Fangli e Sam Yao, il mondo di Gracie viene stravolto. L'attrice famosa ha una proposta: a causa della loro sorprendente somiglianza, Fangli vuole che Gracie sia la sua controfigura. Il problema? Gracie dovrà essere accompagnata da Sam, l'uomo più attraente e irritante che abbia mai incontrato. Se significa ottenere i soldi di cui ha bisogno per sua madre, Gracie accetta. Presto si ritrova in un mondo di lusso che non sapeva esistesse. Ma resistere a Sam e interpretare il ruolo di una star del cinema elegante si rivela più difficile di quanto avesse mai immaginato, specialmente quando scopre il vero motivo per cui Fangli ha così disperatamente bisogno del suo aiuto. Alla fine, nessuna lista potrà aiutare Gracie a mantenere questa elaborata finzione senza perdere se stessa... e il suo cuore.

    • DEE KWAN’S SECRETS FOR A HAPPY LIFE: * Always remain positive, no matter the cost * Realize that every setback is a hidden opportunity * Never, ever question whether any of these mantras actually workFor Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.)Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and prickly estranged grandmother. Then she's tossed into the deep end, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot-nemesis works there, too…and Teddy is nothing like the man she thought she knew.Before she can cry foul, Teddy comes clean about his double life: he’s the heir to the CEO and he needs her help to make Celeste a better place—for everyone. But that means taking down the old guard—including his father—intent on standing in their way. Now in the center of a dizzying corporate coup, Dee is forced to decide whether she’s ready to stop watching the world through rose-colored glasses and instead face the truth: about herself, about her feelings for Teddy, and about what she’s willing to do to truly make a difference.

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.
