A true delight.” —Nicola Harrison, author of Hotel Laguna\n\nWashington Post Best Book of April * PureWow Best Book of Summer * Woman's World Best Book of the Week\n\nIt’s 1961, and for Margo Hightower, everything is about to change. True, her engagement is off, her family has fallen in scandal, and she's completely broke. But she’s just been hired as assistant to photographer Slim Aarons—famous for his vibrant pictures of high society, royalty, and Hollywood stars—and she knows this opportunity is her ticket to something better.\n\nFrom the bright beaches of Acapulco to glitzy parties in New York, Margo is thrown headfirst into the glamorous jet-set world she so covets, observing its ways from behind the camera as Slim’s sidekick. There’s Jackie Kennedy, Truman Capote's Swans, a host of Vanderbilts. Beautiful people in beautiful places.\n\nBut when they land in Palm Beach, a scene with few rules and many riches, the lines between work and play begin to blur. As Margo becomes swept up in the city’s social circle—and into a friendship with heiress and rising fashion designer Lilly Pulitzer—the golden life seems increasingly in reach. Until she finds herself entangled in a complicated web of loyalties and secrets that could bring it all crashing down…\n\nDon't miss Michelle Gable's other riveting novels: The Bookseller's Secret The Lipstick Bureau\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1525805037\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UTLL005C2Z_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gable, Michelle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
