Torie Di Angelo grew up in the work-

ing-class neighborhood of South Philly,

just a few blocks from Rittenhouse

Square, but a world away. The serene

residential enclave, home to Philadel-

phia s powerful and privileged, repre-

sented everything she wanted as a

young girl...everything that was beyond

her reach.

Armed with stunning beauty and

street sense, fueled by the snubs of

the rich and anger at an unjust system

that jailed her father, she set out to

make her mark on Rittenhouse Square

...to challenge the dosed world of Old

Guard society.

With a sensual, renegade architect at

her side, pushed by an ingenious PR man,

and pursued by a brilliant editor, Torie

defies the staid Establishment to build

a dazzling real estate empire.

Passions, power plays, courage, and

glamor in the high-stakes game of

trumps and towers and the higher-

stakes pursuit of lovemake Rittenhouse

Square a compelling reading experience

with all the ingredients of a best-seller.
