A fast-paced, breezy read about life at the bottom of the Hollywood food chain.
No political science degree could ever prepare Elizabeth Miller for her new job as a second assistant at The Agency, whose clients include everyone you've never met-but you know who they're sleeping with.*A former congressional intern in Washington, Lizzie made a bid for a life change that landed her a job a world away, where ethics and First Amendment debates take a backseat to pleading the Fifth for Ritalin-snorting boss Scott Wagner. He's the hottest young agent in Hollywood, who devotes his days to playing online poker-that is, when he's not closing a $30 million deal for one of his AAA-list clients.*And while getting six-hundred-dollar highlights from Cameron's colorist or organizing the strippers for George's birthday party come close to causing heart failure for this East Coast girl, the real dangers lurk elsewhere.*But Lizzie is a* survivor, and no Machiavellian assistant, lecherous producer, or power struggle at The Agency can douse her nascent dreams of climbing up the Hollywood ladder.*But first she has to run down to the Coffee Bean to pick up that triple espresso, or Scott is going to throw something. . . .
