Adrienne Lewis and Liz Braun are the best of friends. Attending
separate schools is hard enough, but they also share the same
occupation of being a nanny to spoiled rich kids whose parents have
nothing better to do than to push them off on others.  Things
wouldn't be so bad if Liz wasn't dating Parker Devlin, the main guy
at Adrienne's school. To top it off, Adrienne has some serious boy
challenges of her own. Her archrival Cameron Warner, who also
happens to be the big sister of the child she tends to, stole her
ex-boyfriend Brian away from her and obviously has no intention of
giving him back. Not to mention, Cameron doesn't even want to be
with him; it's all about making Adrienne's life as miserable as
possible.

With the holidays looming ahead, and the heavily anticipated
debutante cotillion shortly following, Adrienne is at an impasse.
Cameron's stepmother has voluntarily agreed to pay her to steal
Brian back so that he won't be Cameron's escort, and Adrienne is up
for the challenge. Hey, it's free money, right? When the Warners
leave for Aspen, Adrienne is elated when Brian agrees to accompany
her to dinner. Things start off well between them but end on a dry
note as the family returns unexpectedly and spoils Adrienne's
plans.

On the other side of town, Liz is fretting about her boyfriend
Parker and his reputation for being a playboy. To make matters
worse, she's a nanny for a psychologist who's psycho in every sense
of the word. When she's invited to Aspen for the holidays to help
with the kids, Liz is sure she'll get some time to spend with
Parker. As luck should have it, she does get to spend a little time
with him, but things don't turn out quite the way she
expected.

As the rich society girls get ready for the debutante cotillion,
Liz and Adrienne hatch a plan to make them all pay --- in one way
or another. As the night unravels, although these two aren't being
introduced into society, they sure are beautiful enough to take the
spotlight off the main players of the ball, proving that money
doesn't buy everything.

Victoria Ashton does a fabulous job with this storyline. The vivid
details and dialogue between the characters add the right mix to
make this second book in the series a definite winner.
