Tess just got dumped.
Brutally. Publicly. By Chad—the guy with the biggest ego in Manhattan—who scored the ultimate victory: he dumped her before she could dump him.
For Tess, it’s not heartbreak. It’s humiliation. And humiliation demands revenge.
Her secret weapon?
A dusty 1894 seduction manual, written by a disgraced French countess and forgotten in the library stacks for nearly a century: “How to Seduce a Doomed Artist” by élo?se de Saint-Rouge.
The mission?
Follow every outrageous piece of advice in the book and seduce none other than Zane Ryder, the world’s most famous rockstar.
Not for love. Not for passion. But for vengeance—and to crush Chad’s smug little grin once and for all.
Armed with the Countess’s bizarre “wisdom,” Tess charges into a world of disguises, high-stakes schemes, and catastrophes that make reality TV look tame. Meanwhile, Bea—her roommate and struggling novelist—gets dragged along as the unwilling chronicler of the most unhinged revenge plot in rock history.
