Never before has Judith Krantz told a story as rich in heart and emotion as in this, her tenth novel, the story of two amazing women and the men they love, a tale of family love and loss, and a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of an auction house.

In the 1920s, an intriguingly beautiful, complex, vibrant and sexy woman is as famous as those who flock to her studio to be photographed.

Here is Judith Krantz's greatest triumph--I'll Take Manhattan.  In the high-stakes world of magazine publishing, she weaves a dazzling tale of love and betrayal, and creates her most joyous character--sensational Maxi, an uninhibited woman who unexpectedly discovers that her talent for life is matched by a hunger to succeed. Gorgeous, flamboyant Maxi Amberville is twenty-nine and has already discarded three husbands on two continents.  Life is a stream of endless pleasure in her lavish Trump Tower apartment--until her widowed mother married a man who plots to sell her father's magazine empire.  And Maxi turns her incredible lust for living into a passionate quest for power. Maxi takes over the small weekly Buttons And Bows. She gathers her hot-blooded ex-husband, sassy daughter and a coterie of the powerful elite.  Then, risking all, Maxi creates B&B --the glitziest, ritziest, most successful fashion magazine in the country.  Here is a dramatic, sizzling story of love, family, ambition and one unforgettable woman who gives life and love everything she has.

Eve de Lancel dared to bring endless scandal upon herself when she ran away from home to live in unrepentant sin, to win stardom singing in Paris music halls, to risk her life at the Front during World War I, to marry the Vicomte Paul de Lancel and become the greatest lady of Champagne.

Judith Krantz's electrifying bestseller, which made publishing history fifteen years ago, continues with a mesmerizing sequel. Just one night separates the lives of the characters from the original story. Billy Ikehorn, a self-made beauty and owner of the renowned Beverly Hills boutique Scruples, appears to live a dream life with her Oscar-winning husband, Vito Orsini. However, everything changes when Gigi Orsini, Vito's sixteen-year-old daughter from an earlier marriage, enters Billy's world. Gigi is independent, street-smart, and humorous, quickly capturing Billy's heart and sparking a series of unexpected events. Life with Gigi brings both joy and challenges for Billy's partners, Spider Elliot and Valentine O'Neill. As Gigi makes new friends over the next five years, their lives intertwine in ways Billy could never have anticipated. The sequel unfolds rapidly and unexpectedly, taking readers from California to New York to Paris, exploring the evolving relationship between Billy Ikehorn and Gigi Orsini, two of the most captivating and touching characters in contemporary fiction.

Few American women are as ripe for adventure as Gigi Orsini in the booming, optimistic year of 1983. In her mid-twenties, Gigi is an original: as amusingly naughty as she is romantic, as personally courageous as she is sexually alluring. A talented copywriter, Gigi has just accepted a job at a Los Angeles advertising agency where she is teamed with a tenderly seductive art director. But the three owners of the agency include two ambitious bachelors and one powerful woman whose irrational hatred for Gigi turns her into a dangerous adversary. As Gigi's life veers in a new direction she finds herself facing enormous demands and challenges. Never have the passionate practitioners of the business of advertising been unmasked so nakedly as Gigi is drawn into a whirlwind of desire, betrayal - and perilous love.
