The Givenchy Code

A mind-bending code spawned from the mind of a madman...or maybe just a jealous ex.
A desperate race through the cathedrals and hotels of New York City...with a teeny bit of time for shopping, its true.
An astonishing truth concealed for years, unveiled at last...with more than a little help from a supercute new guy.
