That is until a letter shows up in her mailbox one day from her grandmother. Her grandmother that she had never met. Her grandmother that owned the biggest fashion line in the world.
Nora Whitney wanted to meet her granddaughter and without a second thought, Nicolina booked a flight to New York City without knowing her life would change forever.
Nicolina is thrust into the life of designer labels, brunch, and brushing elbows with the elite. Things get even more complicated when she meets the most eligible bachelor in New York City, Clay Thompson.
But, Nicolina is quick to realize that there is more to New York City, and Clay, than she had romanticized. The glitz and the glamour is all a mask to the secrets that lay beneath.
Join Nikki as she navigates a new life on the Upper East Side, full of parties in the Hampton's, private cars, and an empire that is hers for the taking.
