Book Description
Lovers is pure Krantz, an intoxicating dance of love lost, stolen, and found among women and men who lure each other with potent combinations of money, talent, ambition, and passion. Chief among them is irresistible Gigi Orsini, the high-spirited, merry, adventurous creature who grew up into enchanting womanhood in Scruples Two. Now Gigi is working as a copywriter in a new Los Angeles advertising agency, with her creative "teammate," David Melville, a brilliant young art director who joins her in seeking new accounts. The agency is headed by dashing Archie Rourke, humorous Byron Bernheim and the severely difficult beauty, Victoria Frost, daughter of the famed Millicent Frost Caldwell who, with her husband Angus Caldwell, owns one of New York's largest advertising agencies. Ben Winthrop, a proper Bostonian and an enormously successful mall builder, attempts to capture Gigi's quicksilver affections, although his fierce contenders for the same prize include both David Melville and the dominating film director, Zach Nevsky. Meanwhile, Billy Winthrop Ikehorn Orsini Elliott, the unforgettably impulsive heroine of Scruples, and her new husband, the great charmer, Spider Elliott, are busy with their own fascinating lives, as are Gigi's father, canny film producer Vito Orsini, and her best friend, the ravishing Sasha Nevsky, none of whom can be forgotten from Scruples and Scruples Two. Lovers completes all the stories set in motion in the first two novels, yet it stands entirely on its own as a slice of life in the exciting years of 1983 and 1984.

ANNOTATION

The sequel to the phenomenal bestsellers Scruples and Scruples Two--an intoxicating tale of love, money, talent, ambition, and passion. Gigi Orsini, the high-spirited heroine from Scruples Two now takes Los Angeles by storm, as business tycoons, film directors, and advertising executives all vie for her quicksilver affections.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Lovers begins in the glowingly optimistic year of 1983 as Gigi Orsini, aching for adventure, begins her first day on the job as a copywriter at the advertising agency of Frost/Rourke/Bernheim in Los Angeles. During the following year she will encounter enough professional challenges and passionate entanglements to keep even Gigi - that high-spirited, ingenious, redheaded enchantress who grew to womanhood in Scruples Two - on a roller coaster ride that swoops from thrilling personal achievement to new levels of sexual tension and a web of unexpected romance. Lovers is a distillation of purest Krantz, richly detailed, intricate in plot, and bursting with captivating characters, many of them new to her readers, others favorites from Scruples and Scruples Two. Together they form a group of a half-dozen couples engaged in an intoxicating, interwoven dance of love: love abruptly appearing with blazing potency, love incredulously lost, love stolen, love betrayed, and love gloriously recaptured. Throughout this dance Gigi moves adroitly, threatened by jealousy and attempts to dominate her. Gigi works with David Melville, a tenderly seductive young art director who has been appointed her creative "teammate" by the two humorous and talented bachelors, Archie Rourke and Byron Bernheim, who head the agency. The third partner, Victoria Frost, is a severe beauty with an intensely secret life. Her enmity toward Gigi never dies. Daughter of Millicent Frost Caldwell, the grande dame of American advertising, Victoria is a powerful adversary who cannot be ignored. Billy Winthrop Ikehorn Orsini Elliott, the impulsive heroine of Scruples, and her husband, Spider Elliott, are busy with their twin babies and the painful problems of their marriage. Gigi's canny father, the movie producer Vito Orsini, is more involved than ever in his multiple intrigues, and her best friend, Sasha Nevsky, is up to her ravishingly lofty eyebrows in trouble. The action in Lovers moves rapidly from advert
