Fancy That

Fancy That

Witty, romantic, and sharply observed, this modern comedy of manners was named a Library Journal Women’s Summer Read. Because images can be curated. But our hearts delight in disorder. Pretty, young socialite Nancy Carrington-Chambers believes style is everything. When her perfect-on-paper husband’s neglect becomes unbearable, she escapes to a San Francisco apartment and launches an event planning business. All she needs is a meticulous assistant. Then gorgeous, impeccably dressed British Derek Cathcart walks through the door. She’s never felt more alive than when they’re working together to transform the city’s dullest fundraiser. She tries to ignore her growing attraction to Derek—who’s clearly gay—and turns her attention to a handsome politician who’s been pursuing her for years. She’s living the dream. Then, out of the blue, her reckless cousin abandons a small child at Nancy’s and vanishes. As Nancy and Derek stumble through the mysteries of child care, pressure builds from her husband and parents to return home. How can she reconcile her own desires with the expectations of others? And how much responsibility does she really have to an uninvited, Crayon-scrawling, pirate-obsessed house guest? Will Nancy cling to the picture-perfect dream she’s imagined—or risk it all for something real?
