For "Mrs." Madeline Memory, head housekeeper at Palm Beach's Royal Poinciana hotel, exclusive winter preserve of the rich and famous, the "season" of 1896-97 seems unlikely to offer the fulfillment long denied her, restricted as it will be to maintaining the grim façade of a prim, dedicated employee.

Then into Maddy's chambered life barges one of the hotel's liveliest guests, the smoothly attractive and thoroughly unattached Harrison St. John Loring. Masquerading as a financier who works when he chooses and plays with abandon, Harry Loring is in fact a glib confidence man.

A light, turn-of-the-century romance.
