Envy (Luxe, 3)

In the thrilling third installment of Anna Godbersen's New York Times bestselling Luxe series, set in Gilded Age Manhattan in 1899, the city's most envied residents appear to have everything, but sometimes the most practiced smiles hide the most scandalous secrets. Two months after Elizabeth Holland's dramatic homecoming, Manhattan eagerly anticipates her return to the pinnacle of society. However, when she refuses to rejoin her sister Diana's side, observers begin to suspect that all is not as it seems behind the stately doors of No. 17 Gramercy Park South. Farther uptown, Henry and Penelope Schoonmaker are the city's most celebrated couple, but despite Penelope's glittering diamond ring, the newlyweds share little more than scorn for each other. Meanwhile, Penelope's social-climbing best friend, Carolina Broad, is called an heiress by the newspapers, but her fortune—and her fame—is anything but secure, especially as jealous whispers, old rivalries, and new betrayals threaten to expose the truth to the eager press.
