Publisher's summary

Lucy Scarpelli, an Italian dressmaker from New York, befriends socialite Rowena Langdon as she's making her summer wardrobe. It's an unlikely friendship, but one that Rowena encourages by inviting Lucy to the family mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. Grateful for Lucy's skill in creating clothes that hide her physical injury, Rowena encourages Lucy to dream of a better future.

One day Lucy encounters an intriguing man on the Cliff Walk, and love begins to blossom. Yet Lucy resists, for what man will accept her family responsibilities? Rowena also deals with love as she faces a worrisome arranged marriage to a wealthy heir. And Lucy's teenage sister, Sofia, takes up with a man of dubious character. All three women struggle as their lives, and those of each unlikely suitor, become intertwined in a web of secrets and sacrifice. Will any of them find true happiness?

This book was named to Booklist's "Top 10 Romances of 2011".

Kept me on my toes - loved it.

I loved this book and stayed up all night listening as long as i could bear. i love the author and her work. This is the 2nd story in a historical fiction series that takes familiar characters from the other Nancy Moser book called Masquerade. I loved hearing all the different accents for the different ethnic groups. The book was delicious!

yawn , yawn, yawn

IMO don't waste your time.
Dialog drags on and on and unrealistic. Narrator is mundane. Doesn't do accents. Very disappointed listening experience. Author gets a little preachy about wealth.
