Any Given Moment — Laura Van Wormer

Dorothy and Henry Hillings, owners of the Hillings & Hillings Literary Agency, have nurtured and developed their authors' talents for almost fifty years. When their small agency becomes the target of a corporate takeover, the Hillingses' most successful and loyal clients rally to their aid. Professor Elizabeth Robinson is a young, beautiful, eccentric historian whose scholarly writings have stumbled into commercial bestsellerdom; Montgomery Grant Smith is a conservative firebrand whose brash radio personality belies his softheartedness; Georgiana Hamilton-Ayres wrote a successful children's book when she was a young girl and is now one of Hollywood's biggest and most glamorous stars - with a secret that could destroy her career; David Aussenhoff is a former novelist turned Hollywood player with more than one skeleton in his closet; and Patty Kleczak, a New Jersey housewife and mother, may just be the next Phyllis Whitney. These five people, thrown together for a common cause, soon find that even their extraordinary lives are subject to change at any given moment.
