OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS for a fledgling make-up artist as Alison Sweeney-actress, TV host, producer, and author-delivers her third novel, featuring the most tyrannical boss since The Devil Wears Prada.

Alex Cleary lands a dream job doing make-up for Hillary P.--a culinary star with a million-dollar lifestyle empire and reputation for being very challenging. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance and provides a steady paycheck.

But when Alex inadvertently violates the confidentiality clause of her contract, her dream opportunity turns to dust: She's on the hook for a million bucks--unless she can squash the problem within 72 hours. With help from a Hollywood heartthrob, Alex concocts an elaborate scheme that just might get her off the hook. But everything will have to run precisely to plan, and the clock is already ticking.
