The Money Moon: A Romance

In the glittering world of New York society, George Bellew—young, handsome, and fabulously wealthy— discovers that the woman he loves, Sylvia Marchmont, has accepted a marriage proposal from a titled English duke. The shock of the sudden rejection sends him spiraling through a maze of gossip, speculation, and the bemused judgments of his fashionable friends, who predict everything from reckless escapades to impulsive remarriage. Rather than drown his sorrows in drink or danger, George turns to an unexpected source of counsel: his long‑serving valet, Baxter, a picture of impeccable poise and quiet wisdom.

Together they weigh the classic options of a scorned lover—revenge, adventure, new romance, or a return to duty—while the narrative swirls with witty banter, elegant settings, and a keen eye for the absurdities of high‑society expectations. The story promises a charming blend of humor and heart as George navigates his bruised pride and decides what kind of man he truly wishes to become.
