About This Audiobook
Behind the glossy facade of a home renovation power couple on the brink of superstardom, two employees hold everything together. Carey Duncan, a loyal assistant who has quietly shaped the brand since she was a teenager, and James McCann, a structural engineer turned glorified babysitter, are thrown together on a West Coast book tour with one mission: keep their bosses from imploding in public. Stuck managing egos, secrets, and a marriage that exists only for the cameras, Carey and James find themselves building an unexpected connection of their own, even as the chaos around them escalates.
Patti Murin and Jon Root bring natural chemistry to the dual narration, capturing the comedic tension of two people bonding over an absurd shared predicament. Murin gives Carey a warmth that grounds the story's lighter moments, while Root plays James with dry, understated humor. At just under seven and a half hours, the pacing moves briskly, making this a satisfying single-day listen for fans of romantic comedy with a workplace twist.
