One thrown stiletto. One small town banishment. One morally gray man with secrets.
Frankie Peterson had a plan: conquer the fashion world and avoid distractions like forever love or friendship bracelets. Then one thrown stiletto turned into a viral moment and Mr. Uptight banished her to Gi Gi’s Crossing.
It’s a small town where the gossip’s printed, fashion called in tipsy, and everyone waves. Her punishment? Run the dusty bookstore and convince the locals she’s nice. Spoiler alert: she’s not.
Marcus DeLuca Grant was supposed to stay out of the spotlight. But when a fashion editor nails him in the head with a thrown stiletto, he doesn’t get mad. He gets strategic.
With mafia-adjacent roots and a history best left buried, he’s made a life out of staying invisible. Exiling Frankie to small-town purgatory was meant to fix a problem, not create one. Too bad she’s impossible to ignore, and every argument leaves him a little more undone.
As sparks fly and lies unravel, Frankie and Marcus must decide what happens when the person you set out to destroy becomes the one you can’t live without.
Think The Devil Wears Prada… if Miranda got sentenced to charm school.
