"I understand you dated this Byron, didn't you?" Mrs. Warner asked. "His name is Brian," Adrienne said. "Yes, I did." "Well," Mrs. Warner said, "wouldn't it be nice if you two got back together?

"Well," Mrs. Warner said, "wouldn't it be nice if you two got back together? And wouldn't it be wonderful if you did that before the debutante ball?" Mrs. Warner continued. "And then my darling Cameron could find someone more appropriate to escort her to the ball. Oh, Mr. Warner and I would be very grateful if that's what happened."

Adrienne reached for the envelope and smiled too. "Sure. No problem. . . ." So begins another day of work for sixteen-year-old Adrienne Lewis in the fabulous Warner penthouse high above Manhattan. As she watches eight-year-old Emma at her after-school nanny job and tangles with Emma's beautiful but wicked teenage half sister, Cameron, Adrienne struggles to maintain her self-respect.

But then there's sexy Isabelle Schuyler, whom Parker is seen escorting to balls in Aspen and Manhattan. Is Parker playing Liz? Or is this, indeed, how the rich play? less

And I let you in on the secret Parker Devlin is keeping from your gal-pal Liz. And, believe me, this is something she oughtta know. Adrienne sighed.
