NEW RELEASE
Killer Heels - Rebecca Chance (2012)
Coco is determined to do anything to move up the ladder in glossy fashion magazines - even changing her name and becoming ultra-skinny. Her boss, Victoria, is the editor of UK Style but has her eye on an even bigger prize - to get her skyscraper heels under the editor's desk in New York. Mireille is the fashion director at the American magazine and isn't particularly keen on having to deal with Victoria again. And from the boardroom, charismatic media magnate Jacob pulls the strings. With all the magazine machinations, this will appeal to lovers of The Devil Wears Prada. In fact Victoria may well remind many of the cutting Miranda. But it is a much raunchier version - there's lots of sizzling sex, including some S&M for the Fifty Shades brigade and a risky lesbian affair with a model. And in true bonkbuster style, someone isn't willing to stop at anything - even murder - to get their way. This outrageous story will make you want to slap a few faces and send food parcels to Coco.
Killer Heels, by Rebecca Chance, is centred around a power struggle in the magazine world. The summary says: "From the boardroom to the bedroom, the catwalk to the kerbside... Starry-eyed ingenue Coco Raeburn is passionately ambitious. She will do anything - and anyone - to get her own editorship at a top fashion magazine. And her ruthless boss Victoria Glossop, editor at top UK fashion magazine Style, will do everything in her power to stop her. But Victoria has her own ambitions - she wants the top job at Style's US headquarters, and nothing will come between her and her dream. Uber-svengali Jacob Dupleix, media magnate, owner of Style, and one of the most powerful men in New York and London, is used to controlling all he sees. But when Victoria demands that he give her the US Style editorship, he gives in, little realising that his empire could be about to fall apart. In New York, mentor and voice of calm in a storm, Mereille watches the shifts of power with detached amusement. If only they knew quite how much power she could wield if she had to..." Killer Heels is out in August.
