Charlotte „Charlie“ Silver ist der Liebling der Fans. Hübsch, freundlich, immer fair – eine Vorzeigespielerin im verrückten Tenniszirkus. Nur an die Spitze hat sie es bisher nicht geschafft. Als eine Verletzung Charlie zu der Entscheidung zwingt, ihre Karriere entweder aufzugeben oder sie ganz neu zu starten, schließt sie einen Pakt mit dem Teufel. Genauer gesagt: mit dem berüchtigten Tenniscoach Todd Feltner. Unter dessen Anleitung ist Schluss mit Nettigkeiten – ab jetzt ist Charlie die „Warrior Princess“. Prompt stürzt sich die Klatschpresse auf die neuerdings stets in Schwarz spielende Amazone. Doch Siege und Schlagzeilen haben ihren Preis. Während der Stern der „Warrior Princess“ aufgeht, weiß Charlie nicht mehr, wer sie wirklich ist.

Familie, Freunde und womöglich sogar ihre große Liebe?

The new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and Revenge Wears Prada—a dishy tell-all about a beautiful tennis prodigy who, after changing coaches, suddenly makes headlines on and off the court. Charlotte “Charlie” Silver has always been a good girl. She excelled at tennis early, coached by her father, a former player himself, and soon became one of the top juniors in the world. When she leaves UCLA—and breaks her boyfriend’s heart—to turn pro, Charlie joins the world’s best athletes who travel eleven months a year, competing without mercy for Grand Slam titles and Page Six headlines. After Charlie suffers a disastrous loss and injury on Wimbledon’s Centre Court, she fires her longtime coach and hires Todd Feltner, a legend of the men’s tour, who is famous for grooming champions. Charlie is his first-ever female player, and he will not let her forget it. He is determined to change her good-girl image—both on the court and off—and transform her into a ruthless competitor who will not only win matches and climb the rankings, but also score magazine covers and seven-figure endorsement deals. Her not-so-secret affair with the hottest male player in the world, sexy Spaniard Marco Vallejo, has people whispering, and it seems like only a matter of time before the tabloids and gossip blogs close in on all the juicy details. Charlie’s ascension to the social throne parallels her rising rank on the women’s tour—but at a major price. Lauren Weisberger’s novel brings us exclusive behind-the-scenes details from all the Grand Slam tournaments: the US Open, the French Open, the Australian Open, and Wimbledon. Charlie Silver jets around the globe, plays charity matches aboard Mediterranean megayachts, models in photo shoots on Caribbean beaches, walks the red carpet at legendary player parties, and sidesteps looming scandals—all while trying to keep her eyes on the real prize. In this sexy, unputdownable read about young tennis stars who train relentlessly to compete at the highest levels while living in a world obsessed with good looks and Instagram followers, Charlie must discover the secret to having it all—or finally shatter the illusion for good.

Almost a decade has passed since Andy Sachs quit the job “a million girls would die for” working for Miranda Priestly at Runway magazine—a dream that turned out to be a nightmare. Andy and Emily, her former nemesis and co-assistant, have since joined forces to start a high end bridal magazine, The Plunge, which has quickly become required reading for the young and stylish. Now they get to call all the shots: Andy writes and travels to her heart’s content; Emily plans parties and secures advertising like a seasoned pro. Even better, Andy has met the love of her life. Max Harrison, scion of a storied media family, is confident, successful, and drop-dead gorgeous. Their wedding will be splashed across all the society pages as their friends and family gather to toast the glowing couple. Andy Sachs is on top of the world. But karma’s a bitch. The morning of her wedding, Andy can’t shake the past. And when she discovers a secret letter with crushing implications, her wedding-day jitters turn to cold dread. Andy realizes that nothing—not her husband, nor her beloved career—is as it seems. She never suspected that her efforts to build a bright new life would lead her back to the darkness she barely escaped ten years ago—and directly into the path of the devil herself...

In fondo al cuore Andy lo sa: nessuno volta le spalle a Miranda Priestly e sopravvive indenne. Sono passati quasi dieci anni da quando Andrea Sachs, Andy, si è licenziata dal lavoro per cui “milioni di ragazze ucciderebbero” come assistente di Miranda Priestly, direttrice di «Runway» e guru della moda internazionale. La sua vita è molto cambiata negli ultimi anni e di quel terribile periodo non le restano che qualche incubo notturno e l’incontrollabile terrore di partecipare a serate mondane in cui potrebbe incontrare lei, il Diavolo in persona. Tutto il resto, però, va a gonfie vele: la rivista di successo che ha fondato con Emily, l’antica rivale ora migliore amica e socia, e il matrimonio imminente con uno degli scapoli più ambiti della Grande Mela, Max Harrison, affascinante, romantico e soprattutto orgoglioso di avere accanto una donna indipendente e di successo. Nulla sembra poter rovinare un momento così perfetto. Ma Andy ha l’assoluta certezza che qualcosa stia per accadere, perché nessuno prima di lei aveva osato sfidare Miranda. La vendetta non si farà attendere ancora per molto.
