Holly Ross often wishes she lived in a simpler time, when the clothes
were glamorous, the men debonair, and the endings happy.
That said, her career as a fashion historian isn't so bad. With both a
wedding and a big promotion coming up, her own happily ever after seems
assured. So how, in the space of one day, does it all go wrong? How does
she end up homeless, jobless, penniless, and fiancé-less? Why is she
cruising the Mediterranean in hot pursuit of real-estate tycoon Denis
King? And why, for heaven's sake, is she chasing down a suitcase full of
stolen Audrey Hepburn gowns?
With the sparkling Mediterranean and the eternal city of Rome as the
backdrops, Holly's adventures begin to resemble one of the 1950s
Hollywood gems she so adores. Finally she must choose between her
long-held fairy tale fantasy and a new, real-life dream with an ending
she couldn't possibly imagine.
