In late 19th century Paris, one can buy anything, or... anyone one wants...

 

...and what everyone wants is the charming and clever Maurice DeJardin! 

 

 

To repay the debt the Baron de Meilleux owes Maurice for saving his life from a robber, he cleans the sexy, violet-eyed waif up, trades his rags for finery and presents him to the Paris elite as a distant cousin.  The boy's staggering beauty, rapier wit, and skills in the boudoir become legendary almost instantly.  In no time, Maurice is gracing the arms, warming the beds and holding court in the salons of the most powerful and elite members of Paris society.  When jealousy, secrets and political intrigue threaten to topple Maurice's meteoric rise to the top, he knows he must use his wits and every trick he ever learned to outsmart those who would expose him for his very confusing and highly maddening relationship with the Baron could never survive such a scandal... could it?
