From the author of the New York Times bestselling Stiletto and Oxford series, the first in a sizzling new series following the unlikely friendship of three Upper East Side women as they struggle to achieve their dreams and find true love and happiness in the city that never sleeps.
For as long as she can remember, Bronx-born Naomi Powell has had one goal: to prove her worth among the Upper East Side eliteâthe same people for which her mom worked as a housekeeper. Now, as the strongminded, sassy CEO of one of the biggest jewelry empires in the country, Naomi finally has exactly what she wantsâbut itâs going to take more than just the right address to make Manhattanâs upper class stop treating her like an outsider.
The worst offender is her new neighbor, Oliver Cunninghamâthe grown son of the very family Naomiâs mother used to work for. Oliver used to torment Naomi when they were children, and as a ridiculously attractive adult, heâs tormenting her in entirely different ways. Now they find themselves engaged in a battle-of-wills that will either consume or destroy them.
âStrong characters and relatable situations elevate Layneâs bighearted contemporary...[which] digs into class differences, emotional baggage, and the reality of dealing with aging parentsâ (Publishers Weekly, starred review). With the sexy combination of charm, heart, and snark, Lauren Layneâs new series is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne.
