Creating The Lady

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. “My best friend needed a glamorous fake fiancée to sell the power couple fantasy and lure more investors. Neither of us expected me to transform into her for real.” When my best friend Billy Preston and I invented Creating the Lady, it was supposed to be the perfect Manhattan scam—a luxury beauty business selling femininity, transformation, and high-end reinvention to women with money and secrets. We needed a fantasy investors would worship. A power couple they would trust. A face they would never forget. So we created one. After a stupid game of rock, paper, scissors, I became Lady Winona de Lannoy—a fake Luxembourg heiress with perfect hair, better clothes, and a beauty empire built on aspiration. Billy became Abraham Sinclair, my polished, possessive partner in white-collar crime. Together, we sold a dream of elegance, surgery, style, body transformation, and luxury femininity so intoxicating that Manhattan opened every door. But the deeper I fell into makeovers, lip filler, breast augmentation, body sculpting, designer dresses, and the intoxicating discipline of becoming her, the less it felt like pretending. Winona wasn’t just the lie we sold. She was the truth buried underneath me all along. As the money poured in, the romance between Billy and me turned hotter, darker, and impossible to deny. He touched me like I was his masterpiece. He looked at me like I was his religion. And every time he called me his, I felt something inside me fall into place. Then the story leaked. The fake heiress. The cash investors. The private transformations. The body. My identity. All of it turned into scandal, cruelty, and public hunger. Manhattan wanted to destroy the woman it had helped create.
