| The beautiful young Holland sisters, Elizabeth and Diana, rule Manhattan society. Or so it appears. When they discover their status is far from secure, everyone—from the ambitious socialite Penelope Hayes, to the debonair bachelor, Henry Schoonmaker, to the Holland's dour maid, Lina Broud—threatens the girls' golden future. When Elizabeth's carriage overturns near the East River, her glittering life, well-known for lighting up the city's gossip pages, is swallowed by the rough current. Then the question on everyone's lips is this: Who will take Elizabeth's enviable place? - Spoiler:
In the wake of Elizabeth Holland's untimely demise, all eyes are on those left behind: Elizabeth's mischievous sister, Diana; New York's most notorious cad, Henry Schoonmaker; and the seductive Penelope Hayes, poised to claim all that her best friend left behind. In this delicious sequel to The Luxe, Manhattan's most dazzling socialites discover that money matters and breeding counts, but in 1899, ambition and well-played gossip trump all.
- Spoiler:
After two months of speculation, Elizabeth Holland returns home to a city eager to claim her once more. She's the toast of the town, but she simply cannot rouse herself to take part in the festivities celebrating Manhattan's favorite newlyweds, Henry Schoonmaker and Penelope Hayes. Henry and Penelope are the envy of every socialite's eye, but could there be trouble in paradise? There's nothing more splendid than a scandal on the island of Manhattan, and New York's most practiced smiles hide enough secrets to make scandal a daily delight.
- Spoiler:
In the dramatic conclusion to the Luxe series, New York's most dazzling socialites chase dreams, cling to promises and tempt fate. Elizabeth Holland is happily married; her sister Diana is abroad in Paris, and Penelope Hayes and Lina Broud are enjoying the spoils of triumph in Manhattan. Then Diana and Henry Schoonmaker return home and everything changes. As society follows the fortunes of their favorite sons and daughters, one question remains: Can the city's brightest stars survive a life of splendor, or is the price too high, even for them?
