Vidalia finds herself traveling to Paris on an art scholarship for six weeks during the summer. She's happy to be away from the struggles of her home life.

She loves art, but her first art class is a disaster. Her specialty art, rabbit houses, is completely different than the art produced by the other artists in her class.

Her host family seems too busy to hang out with her. She's on her own for most of her vacation - which is fine with her; she's there to focus on her art.

Then she meets Marcus. At first, she doesn't like him, but then he seeks her out and she can't help feeling flattered. He has different ideas about the rich, ideas that get her in over her head.

Can she put aside her concerns and love with wild abandon?

The descriptive quality of this book was sensational; when Vidalia walked down the streets of Paris, it felt like you were walking right beside her.

This breezy romantic tale forces Vidalia to make tough decisions based on her struggling conscience.
