Eden

The instant Eden Menemon’s engagement to John Usselex is announced, New York invents his past: Bavarian gooseherd, Danish baron, fugitive accused of striking a prince. Usselex says the stories may all be false—but who, then, is the man Eden is about to marry?

In New York’s tightly knit society, a family name can open doors, while a whisper can make a fiancé a mystery. Eden, clever and bookish, has grown up letting her vivid imagination turn a passing look or careless word into a world of possibility—or doubt. Now she must make sense of Usselex, a polished banker whose past seems to change with every telling, and of her own uncertain response to him. How much can Eden trust the man behind the rumors—or her own reading of his character?
