When Charlie Mason, a wealthy heir, aristocrat, and fine art connoisseur, left for Paris for Christmas, he never imagined that he would return a different person. After all, it was here that he met Lydia, a Russian emigrant who was forced to become a "night butterfly." Their brief relationship might seem trivial, but only a young Englishman is immensely far from a thirst for fun, and his casual friend from a desire to empty his pockets. In fact, these two lonely souls want only one thing – understanding.A few days spent together in the most romantic city in the world will force them to take a fresh look at their own lives and rapidly rebuild their established coordinate system.… When Charlie Mason, a wealthy heir, aristocrat, and fine art connoisseur, left for Paris for Christmas, he never imagined that he would return a different person.
