About this audiobook
June died the way she lived: at her desk at 9 p.m., eating a cold dinner and one-starring a trashy fantasy romance she couldn't stop reading.
Then she woke up inside it — as the villainess.
Lady Cassiana Ardent is cruel, beautiful, and doomed: the cold Frost Duke's hated fiancée, written into the story for exactly one purpose — to be executed in Chapter 47. Lucky for June, she read this book. She knows every scripted disaster headed her way, and she has a plan: be kind, stay forgettable, and never, ever catch the Duke's eye.
One small problem. She rage-quit the book halfway and only skimmed the ending, so her map runs out precisely where the danger gets worse. The Duke keeps going off-script. The sweet little heroine isn't quite so sweet up close. And the story itself seems determined to drag her back toward that scaffold, however politely she declines.
Forty-seven chapters to rewrite an ending she was never meant to survive.
If only she could remember how it goes.
