Overview

The founder of The Stand-In Society has spent years helping other people survive public pressure. Now she is the one everyone is watching. Margo Vale built her company on rules, boundaries, consent forms, and one firm belief: no one should have to face a cruel room alone. Fake dates. Emergency plus-ones. Family-pressure rescues. Public exits before private pain becomes public property. The Stand-In Society has handled it all. Margo, however, has always stayed safely behind the desk. Until a sharp-eyed reporter starts asking uncomfortable questions about the Society's ethics, its success stories, and the one person who seems to be missing from its public face: the founder herself. Enter Elliot Pierce, a communications strategist with a polished reputation, a dry wit, and absolutely no patience for pretty statements that hide the truth. Elliot is supposed to help Margo prepare for a media-visible ethics forum. He is not supposed to notice every silence she edits out of herself. He is definitely not supposed to become the man standing beside her when the public room starts deciding what their story means. Margo does not need rescuing. Elliot does not want to be used as proof. But as forum pressure rises, office chaos escalates, and every glance between them becomes dangerously easy to misread, Margo has to face the one question she never wrote into any client intake form: What if the woman who built exits for everyone else is finally ready to stay? The Last Stand-In is a witty, emotionally satisfying romantic comedy about boundaries, public pressure, found family, office banter, and the terrifying possibility of being truly seen. Perfect for readers who love sharp dialogue, slow-burn chemistry, fake-date-adjacent chaos, competent women with locked-down hearts, and the one person patient enough to ask before stepping closer.
