"A reverse My Fair Lady tale about a pampered Manhattan socialite who must teach an unpolished drifter from the Louisiana Bayou how to fit in with New York City's upper crust. Somewhere between antagonistic dinner parties and tortured tux fittings, this pair of polar opposites slowly find a begrudging respect for one another--and perhaps even something more--as they adventure through the city that never sleeps"--, Provided by publisherViolet Townsend has always said the right things, worn the right clothes, and never rocked the boat. When Edith, a friend of her late grandmother, asks Violet to teach a newly-discovered grandson how to fit in with New York City's elite, Violet agrees. Her goal? To get Cain Stone ready to take his place as heir to his family company. Making his own way in New Orleans, Cain Stone is only playing along for the paycheck at the end. He has no use for the grandmother he didn't know existed and no patience for Violet's attempts to turn him into a suit-wearing, museum-attending gentleman. As they begin to find mutual respect for one another, Violet learns that sometimes the best things in life come from the most unexpected places. -- adapted from back cover
