Heiress Apparently: A Novel

Behind every hot, wealthy man stands a hotter, wealthier woman.

There’s one rule in Gemma Huang’s family: never, under any circumstances, set foot in Beijing. But when Gemma, an aspiring actress, lands her first big break—a lead role in an update of M. Butterfly, which just so happens to be filming in the Chinese capital—she heads to LAX without looking back. When she arrives in Beijing, Gemma is instantly mobbed by paparazzi at the airport, where she quickly realizes she may as well be a carbon copy of Alyssa Chua, one of the city’s most notorious young socialites. Thus kicks off a season of revelations and romance in which Gemma finds herself torn between her familiar life in L.A.—including the boyfriend she left behind—and her new reality as Alyssa’s cousin and fellow heiress to a dynastic fortune. To make things even more complicated, Gemma soon attracts the attention of a fellow billionaire who has no intention of letting her go . . .
