As an eligible bachelor, man-about-town, and mover in the highest social echelons, Stone Barrington has always been the subject of interest and gossip.

But when he's unwittingly thrust into the limelight, he finds himself scrambling to take cover. Before too long, Stone's fending off pesky nuisances left and right, and making personal arrangements so surreptitiously it would take a covert operative to unearth them.

Unfortunately, Stone finds that these efforts only increase the persistence of the most troublesome pests...and when he runs afoul of a particularly tenacious lady, he'll be struggling to protect not just his reputation but his life.


身為一個活躍在頂級社交圈，處於金字塔頂端的黃金王老五而言，史東貝寧頓長久以來一直是人們茶餘飯後、談論八卦時，深感興趣的主題。

但不幸地，史東發覺他的努力只會讓這些討厭的八卦人士變本加厲。尤其是在史東和一位特別頑強的女士發生衝突時，他不只要拼命保護名譽，還有自己的性命。
