18 year old Cora Levenson was never the type to command a ballroom at home in New York, much less one of the stuffy, glittering affairs that were held each week during The London Season. She's homesick for her friends and pets that she dutifully left on the otherside of The Atlantic, following her mother's desperate wish for her to make a great aristocratic match in the old world. Cora was never one for rules and old fashioned manners, she loved her simple life in America and their Newport neighbor Henry Parker-Ellis. Alas, his lack of title and lesser fortune were not enough for her Mama, and now she finds her dance card full of boring upperclass Englishmen who put the UGH in stuffy.
