      Eve dared. . . Eve, with passion that overruled her total innocence, ran away from home to live in unrepentant sin; won stardom singing on the stage of the Parisian music halls before Worlds War I; married into the world of international diplomacy; and become the greatest lady Champagne. Eve's younger daughter, Freddy, inherited all of her mother's recklessness. Growing up in California, she became a pilot by sixteen; throughout World War II she ferried war planes in Britain--a glorious redhead who captured men with one humorous, challenging glance. Eve's elder daughter, Delphine, exquisite, gifted, and wild, romped through the nightlife of Hollywood of the thirties. On a whim, she made a screen test in Paris and soon found herself a great star of French films. She chose to risk her life in occupied France because of a love that transformed her frivolity into courage.

      Everyone in the world of fashion has been waiting for months, impatient to learn the names of the three American unknowns who will be picked to go to Paris to star in the d�but spring collection of brilliant, bad-boy designer Marco Lombardi. No-one is more anxious than Frankie Severino, twenty-seven years old and second in command at the modeling agency owned by her best friend and former model Justine Loring. When the three names are announced, Frankie is stunned - all are under contract to Justine Loring. This outrageous and inexplicable stroke of good luck forces Justine to admit to Frankie that it's no accident. Jacques Necker - the Swiss billionaire launching Lombardi - is her father, the man who deserted her mother before she was born. Justine has consistently refused to meet him, and the Lombardi contest has been his attempt to lure her to Paris. But Justine won't play his game. She sends Frankie in her place as chaperone for the three young women. Frankie and her charges spend two intrigue-filled weeks in Paris as the adventure-bound girls get ready to face the challenge of a runway show where they will be surrounded by the top models in the world. Under the magical spell of Paris in winter, all of them, including Frankie, become restless, rebellious and wildly romantic.

      Matka, ktorá pre kariéru zatají vlastné dieťa, sa rozhodne obetovať všetko, len aby získala späť svoju dcéru. Na pozadí atraktívneho sveta filmového biznisu a práce svetoznámych aukčných siení obchodujúcich s perlami či briliantmi je román Šperky Tessy Kentovej v prvom rade románom o veľkých láskach. Autorka Judith Krantzová v ňom majstrovsky načrtla dilemu tých najhlbších emócií vo vzťahoch medzi matkou a dcérou, medzi ženou a mužom. Čitateľov si kniha podmaní svojím dramatickým príbehom rovnako ako citovou hĺbkou, čo sa pri románoch jednej z najčítanejších súčasných amerických spisovateliek stalo už pravidlom.

Náhle se však v její blízkosti objeví dva muži a soupeří o její přízeň... jedním z nich není nikdo jiný než její dávno ztracený otec. Frankie Severinová, tato vášnivá kráska z Brooklynu žije od svého rozvodu sama, ale jako zázrakem se před ní uprostřed pracovního shonu objeví osudový idol, muž o němž snila už na střední škole.

První romantické dobrodružství se pro ni stane otřesným zážitkem. Jordan Dancerová je dcerou plukovníka. Vysokými ambicemi úspěšně zdolává všechny překážky na cestě za kariérou, ale i ona narazí na ošidnou tvář lásky. Tinker Osbornová, bývalá hvězda dětských přehlídek, mimořádně atraktivní a jemná mladá žena je ochotná podstoupit cokoli, aby znovu dosáhla vrcholu. Všechny jsou krásné...

    • Star de Hollywood, riche, belle, admirée, Tessa Kent souffre d'une blessure secrète : vivre loin de Maggie, l'enfant qu'elle a eue à quatorze ans, et qui a été élevée par ses parents comme si elle était sa petite sœur. La blessure s'élargit lorsque Maggie, à dix-huit ans, découvre la vérité, rompt tout contact avec sa mère et s'installe à New York, où elle entame une brillante carrière chez un célèbre commissaire-priseur. Quelques années plus tard, une grave crise existentielle provoque chez Tessa le désir ardent de mettre fin à leur mésentente. Pour se rapprocher de sa fille, elle imagine de mettre en vente les bijoux offerts par son défunt mari. Mais saura-t-elle trouver le chemin de son cœur ? Des fastes de Hollywood à la vie trépidante de Manhattan et du marché de l'art, la romancière de L'Amour en héritage nous conte une histoire d'amour entre une mère et sa fille, de la déchirure à la rédemption.
