The Secret in Suite 1808

One night in the opulent Suite 1808 of The St. Regis New York, Zoe Carter, a sharp-witted reader of trashy CEO novels, wakes up to her worst nightmare: she's no longer herself. She's been thrust into the body of Emily Miller, the doomed cannon fodder character in "Manhattan's Ice King," the very novel she just finished deriding.



Trapped in the opening act of a scandal meticulously orchestrated by the venomous socialite Isabelle Thorne, this new Emily (with Zoe's soul) knows the script: public humiliation, ruin, and a swift, tragic exit. But Zoe Carter isn't playing by the book. Armed with her meta-knowledge of the plot, a twenty-first-century attitude, and a fierce will to survive, she's determined to flip the script on her predetermined fate as Emily Miller.



Forced into a sham engagement with the novel's infuriatingly handsome and glacially cold protagonist, billionaire CEO Alexander Sterling, Emily (Zoe within) must navigate the treacherous waters of Manhattan's elite. As she dodges Isabelle's devious schemes and delivers satisfying comeuppance to those who underestimated her, she starts to derail the original storyline in ways she never predicted.



But changing the plot comes with its own dangers. The lines between fiction and reality blur, and Alexander, the "by-the-book" CEO, finds himself increasingly captivated by this new, unpredictable Emily Miller who defies his every expectation. As hidden agendas unravel and the "secret" of Suite 1808 proves to be far more sinister than the novel let on, Emily (guided by Zoe's spirit) must decide if she can trust the man she once dismissed as a mere character.



Can a cannon fodder character, now infused with a modern soul named Zoe, truly rewrite her destiny as Emily Miller, outsmart a master manipulator, and find an unexpected love in a world designed to be her downfall? Or will the original author always have the final say?
