Chosen as one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2016 ** In 1959 Cuba, Natalia San Martín was nothing short of a princess: sheltered, pampered, and courted by her very own prince, a childhood friend turned lifelong love. All that changed on the fateful New Year's Eve when Fidel Castro and his followers seized control of the country, with tragic consequences for not only the island, but Natalia herself. Five years later, in 1960s New York, she's known as Natalie Martin-living a life that's bleak, but thankfully anonymous. However, when the enigmatic Jack Roemer offers her a job writing the memoir of a starlet on the brink of self-destruction, she sees not only opportunity, but unexpected echoes of a fairytale long forgotten. As she knows all too well, however, the prettiest façade can hide the ugliest of truths- and peeling back the layers of someone else's past forces Natalie to confront her own.

Underground jazz, sleek cars, and the roar of money. This is Chicago: where the parties are wilder, morals are looser, and the temperature, as well as the restlessness, is skyrocketing faster than the stock exchange. Street artist Florence Hale has absolutely no idea what she's in for when she accepts the newspaper offer of millionaire Leo Grey to paint his portrait. Leo introduces Florence to a world where both the people and the parties are gorgeous beyond belief. Living in a world of gold is ideal, but nearly impossible to maintain. And there's a price to pay for greed.
