Susy Branch lives a luxurious life on another's dime. Without trade or talent, dowry or inheritance, she's beloved by the pond-hopping elite, and when she isn't at one friend's summer home in Venice, she's at another's summer home...in Versailles. When she meets Nick Lansing--another of the elite class' "pets," a dreamy writer with a well-defined moral code--she comes up with a brilliant idea: marriage. The elite love newlyweds, and Susy knows that she and Nick can turn their love into a year--at least a year!--of luxury and comfort. Though both of them understand that the marriage can and will end as soon as one finds a better partnership with a more well-to-do-suitor, what will happen to Nick and Susy if they love each other more than they love luxury?
