The Apartment | Danielle Steel Collection 3
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Valerie Wyatt is the queen of gracious living and the arbiter of taste with a successful TV show. Since her long-ago divorce, sheâs worked hard to reach the pinnacle of her profession and to create a camera-ready life in her Fifth Avenue penthouse. So why is she so depressed? All the hours with her personal trainer, the careful work of New Yorkâs best hairdressers, cosmetic surgeons, and her own God-given bone structure and great looks canât fudge the truth or her lies about it: Valerie is turning sixty.
Valerieâs daughter, April, has no love life, no rest, and no prospect of that changing in the foreseeable future. Her popular one-of-a-kind restaurant in downtown New York, where she is chef and owner, consumes every ounce of her attention and energy. Ready or not, though, Aprilâs life is about to change, in a tumultuous transformation that begins the morning it hits her: Sheâs thirty. And what does she have to show for it? A restaurant, no man, no kids.
Jack Adams once threw a football like a guided missile. Twelve years after retiring from the NFL, he is the most charismatic sports analyst on TV, a man who has his pick of the most desirable twentysomething women. But after a particularly memorable Halloween party, Jack wakes up on his fiftieth birthday, his back thrown out of whack, feeling every year his age.
A terrifying act of violence, an out-of-the-blue blessing, and two extremely unlikely love affairs soon turn lives inside out and upside down. In a novel brimming with warmth and insight, beginning on one birthday and ending on another, Valerie, April, and Jack discover that life itself can be a celebrationâand that its greatest gifts are always a surprise.
HOTEL VENDOME
The hotel was old, run-down. But to Swiss-born Hugues Martin, a young, ambitious hotelier trained in the most illustrious European traditions, it is a rough diamond, tucked away on a quiet, perfectly situated Manhattan street. After begging and borrowing every penny he can scrape together, Hugues purchases the buildingâand transforms it into one of the worldâs finest luxury hotels.
Under Huguesâs tireless, exacting supervision, the Hotel Vendôme is soon renowned for its elegance, its efficiency, its unparalleled service and discretionâthe ideal New York refuge for the rich and famous, as well as a perfect home for Huguesâs beautiful young wife and their daughter. But when his wife runs off with a notorious rock star, Hugues is suddenly a single parent to four-year-old Heloiseâwho will grow up happily regardless, amid a fascinating milieu of celebrities, socialites, politicians, world travelers, and the countless hotel employees who all adore her.
As the years pass, Hugues and the hotel are the center of Heloiseâs life, a universe of unexpected mysteries and pleasures, crises and celebrations that make every day magical. She longs to follow in her fatherâs footsteps and one day run the Vendôme with him. New challenges mark her way: an unexpected romance for Hugues and her own journey to hotel school in Switzerland. The lessons she has learned at her fatherâs side, in their exciting upstairs-downstairs world, will carry her through it all, as they illuminate a story no listener will forget.
