A wickedly on-the-mark roman a clef by two insiders with a heroine you'll love to love and a rollicking tale about the bizarre wonderland that is Hollywood, U.S.A.

No political science degree could prepare Elizabeth Miller for her job as 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 makes a bid for a life change and lands a job a world away, where First Amendment debates take a backseat to pleading the Fifth for Scott Wagner, the hottest young agent in Hollywood, who devotes his days to playing online poker - that is, when he's not closing a thirty-million-dollar deal for one of his AAA-list clients. And whil getting six-hundred-dollar highlights from Camron's colorist or organizing the strippers for George's party come close to causing heart failure for this east coast girl, the real dangers lurk elsewhere. Lizzie is a survivor, and no Machiavellian assistant, lecherous producer, or power struggle at The Agency can douse her dreams of climbing up the Hollywood ladder.

For anyone who loved The Nanny Diaries or The Devil Wears Prada, The Second Assistant is packed with outrageous, thinly veiled stories about the deranged and the unspeakably glamorous that will have tongues wagging from coast to coast.
