"NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER
Paris, L.A., and the world of ready to wear fashion provide rich
backdrops for Danielle Steel's deeply involving story of a gifted
designer whose talent and drive have brought her everything--except
the ability to erase her past and trust relationships.
FIRST SIGHT
New York. London. Milan. Paris. Fashion Week in all four cities. A
month of endless interviews, parties, and unflagging work and
attention to detail at the semiannual ready to wear fashion
shows--the famous pret-a-porter. At the center of the storm and
avalanche of work is American Timmie O'Neill, whose renowned line,
Timmie O, is the embodiment of casual chic, in fashion and for the
home. She has created a business that inspires, fills, and consumes
her life.
With an unerring instinct for what the next trend will be, an
innate genius for business, tireless labor, and sheer fearlessness,
starting from nothing, over two decades Timmie has built an
international empire that has brought her enormous satisfaction and
success. In a world where humility and compassion are all too rare,
her humor, kindness, integrity, and creativity are inspirational.
Yet as blessed as she feels by her success, Timmie harbors the
private wounds of a devastating childhood and past tragedy. She is
too smart, too experienced, and too hurt to want much in her
personal life beyond a succession of convenient, very limited
relationships. Always willing to take risks in business, she never
risks her heart.
But despite her well-ordered and highly controlled world, it turns
out that Timmie O'Neill is not immune to magic when it strikes. And
it strikes in Paris during Paris Fashion Week, when an intriguing
Frenchman comes into her life when she gets sick. At first, Timmie
and Jean-Charles Vernier are only patient and physician. They
become confidants and friends, corresponding at a safe distance
between Paris and Los Angeles once she goes home. There is every
reason why they must remain apart. But neither can deny their
growing friendship and the electricity that sparks whenever they
meet.
" "
"First Sight" is as complex and compelling as modern life itself.
Careers, families, histories, losses, duty, obligation, and fear of
losing control and getting hurt. It is a tale of daring to take
risks, and losing control just enough to have a life, when the
opportunity presents itself. When two very different worlds and
strong-willed people collide, everything changes in an instant, as
they confront the age-old question of whether to lay oneself bare
and risk intimacy--or not. Are they brave enough to face what comes
next? And will they do it together or apart?
