We are none of us what we seem. Or are we? a predatory butler, a promiscuous heir, an intellectual heiress- all living in New York City and all familiar with multidigit incomes, high society, art, and the theater. From the outside, they seem to live in a fairy-tale world. But when it's spring time in New York City and the boundaries dividing the classes seem to have melted with the last snow, life in the leisure class is anything but simple, and everything is possible, but even marriage. In spring, a playboy's thoughts can turn to marriage, a plain and un-sought-after woman can find herself the object of seduction, an opportunist's ship can come in. In spring, lovers might reveal themselves and conceal themselves. When almost anything is possible, almost anything will happen. Discover who the heirs and heiresses, butlers and lovers, really are in this entertaining novel by Cynthia Voigt.
