"Addiction, reinvention, and the chaos of toxic workplaces — all wrapped in biting wit and unpredictable turns...Sipos’s prose crackles with energy, packing more into a single sentence than some manage on an entire page."— BookLife at Publishers Weekly

2025 IPPY Gold Medalist, Best Regional Fiction (Midwest)

On the run from Hollywood scandal and fighting some fierce inner demons, Jaycee Grayson didn’t come to play. A disgraced kids’ entertainment exec with no filter and nothing to lose, she’s followed the hollow promise of sisterhood to Littleburgh’s world-famous doll empire. Nothing is as it seems—not the town, not the empress behind the lucrative legend, and definitely not the two-faced Prairie Karens harboring a billion-dollar web of secrets and lies.

Jaycee rallies a band of fellow misfits, each uniquely desperate for a life win, only to learn that truth bombs carry a premium price tag. Exposing a twisted workplace plot might cost her everything: the big career comeback, the small-town cop romance—and a home and family just weird enough to call her own.

With stiletto-sharp sarcasm, emotional grit, and the satirical sting of a slap in Spanx, this resilient new heroine is hitting hard with cult fans who like to get in early and skip the line. If you crave unexpected adventure, corporate takedowns, and brilliant little reads that start as a cool booknerd tip and end in nightly obsession—buckle up, buttercup. You're home. Grab it before the price goes up!
