MADE IN MANHATTAN

In this My Fair Lady tale in reverse, a pampered Manhattan socialite is tasked with teaching a rough-around-the-edges, denim-loving "nobody" from the Louisiana Bayou how to fit in with New York City's upper elite... perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne!

Violet Townsend has always been a people pleaser. Not wanting to cause trouble for the the prim-and-proper grandmother who raised her, Violet's accustomed to saying the right things, wearing the right clothes, and never rocking the boat. However, her dedication to her grandmother is tested when her grandma's best friend asks for a whopper of a favor: teaching the illegitimate grandson she didn't know she had how to fit in with upper-crust New York City society in order to take his place as heir to the family company.

Born and raised in rural Louisiana, Cain Stone makes it clear every step of the way that he'll play along for the paycheck at the end. He has no use for the grandmother he didn't know existed and disdains Violet's every attempt to turn him into a suit-wearing, museum-attending gentleman.

But somewhere amidst antagonistic dance lessons and tortured tux fittings, the uptight Violet realizes she's not the only one doing the teaching. As she and Cain come to a begrudging mutual respect, Violet learns that blindly following society's rules doesn't lead to happiness. And sometimes the best things in life come from unexpected places.
