Alex comes riding to the rescue, along with his very wealthy and very influential family. Greedy for wealth and power, her fiancé decides to trade in his homespun beauty for a younger, more-beautiful-to-him, and wealthier model. Even if Alex wished otherwise, there’s no future in this relationship since Connie is as good as engaged to be married.īut fate and Connie’s fiancé have a different outcome in mind. While Connie, in her shy retiring way hiding out in her godfather’s library, seems to effortlessly hold his attention without trying in the least bit.

Alex comes from one of the premier families in the country and has the world at his feet with mamas and beauteous debutantes falling over themselves to attract and hold his attention. In a world where title and wealth are the currency by which people are judged, Connie and Alex come from opposite ends of the spectrum.
