Scheming social climber Alexa may be humbly born, but she's a class-hopping cruise missile aimed at the very top of the gold-digging tree. Only a title, a mansion, and family tiara will do. Befriending clueless aristocrat Florrie means the grandest doors swing open and the prince of her dreams is in sight. But has Florrie's mother, the formidable Lady Annabel, figured out Alexa's scheme? Beautiful but penniless student Polly, meanwhile, is in love. But Max, the handsome young vet she's found, might not be as ordinary as he seems.

Eye-widening snobbery and more than naked ambition abound in this deliciously satirical novel of the upwardly mobile.
