Her path to the crown seems clear until a massive PR disaster threatens to cancel the entire event. Enter Piper Woo Collins. The daughter of an EMT and a brilliant science fair winner, Piper is the perfect, down-to-earth teen needed to restore the ball's ruined reputation.

Suddenly, Piper and Chapin are locked in a fierce competition for the same crown. You will be swept up in the glitz, glamour, and drama of Paris as these two complete opposites clash. But in a world where everyone has a hidden agenda, Piper and Chapin might just need each other to survive the ultimate high-society game.
