Women's Fiction Contemporary

New York, New York. What a wonderful town. And what a cutthroat scene of designer divas, high-maintenance mannequins, and predatory groupies. Ex-model Josie Vaughn once belonged to the coveted inner circle. Now, at the ripe old age of thirty-six, she’s trying to claw her way back in as a fashion stylist.

Josie may not have money or a man, but she’s got connections. Once known as “The Empress,” the leggy Australian convinces world-renowned fashion photog Hamish Kent to let her style a shoot, despite the machinations of his venomous ex wife/agent. But it’s Hamish’s oh-so-hunky— and straight!—assistant Marcus who really gives Josie a go.

Then there’s fabulously rich socialite pal Priscilla Saunders, who takes Josie under her Chanel-clad wing and fixes her up on a blind date with sartorially challenged investment banker Andy Wyatt. Just what Priscilla was thinking, Josie has no idea, but Andy proves to be exactly the kind of friend a woman in Manolos needs when she keeps tripping over her psychotic, drug-addicted ex-fiancé.

Josie’s big break finally comes when she least expects it. Unfortunately, once she’s back in the spotlight, there’s no shortage of people willing to dish all her dirty little secrets. But this isn’t Josie’s first time at the Seventh Avenue rodeo—and one should never underestimate a fashionista’s ability to land on her stilettoed feet…
