From Booklist
Charming, wealthy, happy-go-lucky Scott Richmond finds teenager Chrissie Dreyfuss breaking into his mother's safe and stealing her jewels. Chrissie's father, who was Scott's father's valet, had been released after many years of service without so much as a meager pension, then died, leaving Chrissie's family impoverished. Chrissie tells Scott that she needs the money for Julliard. Feeling guilty about his father's miserly behavior, Scott gives Chrissie some of the jewels. Reference librarian Nicole Dreyfuss, who raised Chrissie, is appalled by her kid sister's antics and wants to make things right. But when Nicole finds out that Chrissie has already fenced the loot, and that the jewels she stole aren't real, Nicole really has no choice but to go along with Scott's crazy idea of stealing back the jewels and replacing them with the real thing, a plan that requires Nicole to pretend to be Scott's fiancee. Fans of McCutcheon's uproarious My Favorite Husband [Ja 1 & 15 04] will be glad to see charismatic Scott featured in his own sexy, highly entertaining, and madcap romp. Shelley Mosley
