As old friends become rivals, Manhattanโs most dazzling socialites find their futures threatened by whispers from the past. In this delicious sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Luxe, nothing is more dangerous than a scandal...or more precious than a secret.
True love.ย False friends.ย Scandalous gossip. This is Manhattan, 1899.
After bidding good-bye to New Yorkโs brightest star, Elizabeth Holland, rumors continue to fly about her untimely demise.
All eyes are on those closest to the dearly departed: her mischievous sister, Diana, now the familyโs only hope for redemption; New Yorkโs most notorious cad, Henry Schoonmaker, the flame Elizabeth never extinguished; the seductive Penelope Hayes, poised to claim all that her best friend left behindโincluding Henry; even Elizabethโs scheming former maid, Lina Broud, who discovers that while money matters and breeding counts, gossip is the new currency.
โMystery, romance, jealousy, betrayal, humor, and gorgeous, historically accurate details. I couldnโt put The Luxe down!โ โCecily von Ziegesar, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Gossip Girl series
