Tall, blond, and willowy, this twenty-two-year-old seems to have everything going for herβsheβs rich and gorgeous, a talented singer, and has just returned to her Park Avenue penthouse after a year studying in Paris. But since her motherβs tragic death years ago, her father, an extremely successful financier, has been her only familyβ and if sheβs being honest, her only true friend. All that changes when Jacob Williams is arrested on charges of fraud, and the SEC freezes the familyβs bank accounts. With her father in jail and her partying pals suddenly scarce, Charlotte escapes Manhattan and heads to the one place she doesnβt think anyone will come looking: New Orleans. Determined to rebuild her life, Charlotte moves in with her beloved former nanny and finds a job in a local restaurant. Between trying to make ends meet and hiding from her past, she meets Kat, a fellow fashionista who introduces her to the best of the Big Easyβs bohemian style. With Kat by her side, Charlotte begins to haunt nightclubs, securing singing gigs that soon begin to heat upβas does her friendship with a local boy, Jackson. But Charlotteβs being followed by an angry stalker who wants nothing more than to destroy her for her fatherβs crimes. And with Mardi Gras just around the corner, the masquerade has only just begun . . . From the stylish avenues of Manhattan and dark clubs of the French Quarter to the bright lights of Los Angeles, the multitalented Nicole Richieβs scintillating tale shows that the very life you run from is the one that wonβt let you hide.
