The trappings of high society are brought to life in this scintillating
novel penned by Newberry medalist Cynthia Voigt, whom Kirkus called "a
master of pure story."
We are none of us what we seem.
Gregor has an eye for the expensive. It's a talent that makes him a fine
appreciator of art and a stellar butler. Handsome and barely in his
thirties, Gregor's choice of work baffles even his employer, wealthy
playboy Theo Mondleigh.
If only he knew how Gregor spent his free time.
While Theo's parents strong-arm him into marriage, Gregor's looking for
a match of his own. His one requirement: money, and a lot of it. When
Gregor's not working, his days are spent charming the wealthiest single
women he can find.
His latest mark is Alexis. She's got money, youth, and the
disenchantment to match, but the more time he gambles spending with her,
the deeper he finds himself falling in love.
She's charming, intelligent, and engaged to the one man that could strip
Gregor of his veneer of wealth. When worlds collide, much more is at
stake than their fledgling love.
