Book Synopsis: SHE LIVED TWO LIVES AT ONCE
BY DAY she was "Mrs." Madeleine Memory, head housekeeper at the fabulous Royal Poinciana in Palm Beach, the largest resort hotel the world had ever seen. Dressed in black, in deep mourning for her "husband," Madeleine was the no-nonsense picture of chastity and virtue.
BY NIGHT, in peacock feathers and silver silk, she slipped champagne from her slipper as flamboyant, French-speaking "Madame Memphis" -- toast of the nightclubs and gambling parlors and consort of charming professional gambler and con man Harrison St. John Loring.
The trouble was, she fell in love with him.
Following the sun and the season from the hundred-room cottages and sleek yachts of Newport to the sumptuous summer madness of Saratoga; from the night spots and lavish hotels of Europe and New York to the casinos and masked balls of Palm Beach, Maddy Memory and Harry Loring purse their dreams of grandeur and their tempestuous, bittersweet romance...
