It's 1989, the Berlin Wall is coming down, and Kate has just graduated from Yale, eager to pursue her dreams as a fledgling painter. When she receives a job offer to work as the assistant to Lydia Schell, a famous American photographer in Paris, she immediately accepts. Kate may speak fluent French, but she arrives at the Schell household in the fashionable Sixth Arrondissement both dazzled and wildly impressionable. She finds herself surrounded by a seductive cast of characters, including the bright, pretentious Schells, with whom she boards, and their assortment of famous friends; Kate's own flamboyant cousin; a fellow Yalie who seems to have it all figured out; and a band of independently wealthy young men with royal lineage. As Kate rediscovers Paris and her roots there, while trying to fit into Lydia's glamorous and complicated family, she begins to question the kindness of the people to whom she is so drawn as well as her own motives for wanting them to love her.

Comedy writer and middle daughter of Al Gore, Kristin Gore has written a funny and moving debut novel about life on Capitol Hill as seen through the eyes of Samantha Joyce, a twenty-six year old health care analyst to Ohio Junior Senator Robert Gary. Hard working, idealistic, extremely competent as well as neurotic and prone to daydreaming, Sammy, as she's known to her friends, has little time for anything, much less a relationship. But in the midst of lobbying and late-night dinners at the office, she meets Aaron Driver, who is hot, smart, and sweet, and who, after a night of binge drinking at a bachelor party, proclaims his love for her. But how will Sammy balance her seventy-plus hour weeks with her budding romance, while keeping her best friend's slimy boyfriend from hitting on her, and making time for family, who insist her outfits match the centerpiece.

Začalo sa to žartom. Dvaja bratia – Will a Jeff – a ich priateľ Tom si večer spolu zájdu do svojho obľúbeného baru v South Beach, do baru s názvom Nebezpečné pásmo, a stavia sa, komu sa podarí zviesť tajomnú ženu popíjajúcu osamote koktail. Pekná tmavovláska Suzy vyzerá nevinne, a ako sa vyjadrí Jeff: „Jednoducho čaká na svojho rozprávkového princa.“ Ale Suzy nie je taká naivná, ako sa tvári. A zakrátko spustí nebezpečnú hru, v ktorej sa vyostria vzťahy medzi bratmi a ich partnerkami. Joy Fieldingovú kritici často chvália za jej rozprávačské umenie a trilery „plné nečakaných zvratov“. Keď vezmete do ruky jej román Nebezpečná zóna, odložíte ho, až keď dočítate poslednú stranu.
