Opis

When heiress Claire Vanderbilk meets Renaissance man "Fast" Eddie Sullivan on a private beach on Aquidneck Island, sparks begin to fly in two directions: left and right. Eddie is a Vietnam veteran who lost an eye and his young Vietnamese bride in the Vietnam War three decades earlier. Claire is a Newport, RI socialite with blood the color of the deep blue sea. Even though highly skeptical of each other's politics, Claire and Eddie find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another, this in spite of the fact that Eddie has a girl. Victoria Jefferson, a direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemming is a single mom and may be the best thing that has happened to Eddie since the war. But just as Eddie is attracted to Claire, Victoria finds she is attracted to Claire's son Elliott, a successful entrepreneur in his own right. Eddie and Victoria find themselves fighting to maintain their fragile relationship as Claire and Elliott shower them with lavish gifts and ultimately genuine affection. Through the resulting clash of ideas and social classes these four individuals experience, their lives are changed dramatically as the existing social order is explored and exploded in this tale of the true price of wealth.
