She's the girl you love to hate because she has it all--looks, wealth, status, and far too much self-confidence. So when snooty young Nancy Carrington-Chambers flees her hardworking, but "not fabulous enough" husband for a chic San Francisco apartment and starts an event planning company, Froth, everyone is hoping for her to fail, but sure she'll succeed...again.

She hires the perfect assistant-Derek is gorgeous, British, and gay. He listens attentively to her opinions on fashion and people. Together they know they can turn society's dreariest gala into the most exciting party of the year.

Nancy's quest for a perfectly stylish life is derailed by her growing attraction to Derek and the arrival of her irresponsible jetsetting cousin, who abandons her neglected little girl on Nancy's doorstep. Suddenly Nancy is dealing with a child's needs and messes and seeking advice from a kind-hearted divorced mother on the fringes of her social circle.

Nancy's life begins to change in ways she'd never imagined. But she discovers too late that her husband isn't as complacent as he seemed and her carefully constructed world crashes down all at once. Nancy learns that real style takes risks, but is she willing to give up everything she values for those she's grown to love?
