New York City and Washington, D.C.

New York producer Annabelle Kapner has a very successful segment for the morning news show, a report about a cosmetics company planning jobs for refugee women in the Middle East. But as she continues her investigation into what may be of even more interest behind the scenes, the director of the company becomes elusive and she receives some threatening phone calls.

Meanwhile, she has met Mark Thurber, Washington's most eligible bachelor according to People Magazine. Mark is speechwriter for the U.S. vice president, so this association slides her right up to an A-list person as far as restaurants and tabloid press are concerned. Annabelle combines her reporting with a trip to Washington to see Mark and the cosmetic company the same day, but when she returns to the company for a clandestine peek at their records she is caught and lands in a non-exective jail cell. That doesn't keep her quiet - the journalist in her begins a segment on corruption and her crusade serves to put her once again in the spotlight.

How Annabelle gets out of jail and gets her boyfriend back is the rest of the book, and it’s a fascinating, wry send-up of the television morning news industry by a network insider. Jennifer Oko has a sharp pen and a sharp sense of humor. If you like the inside scoop mixed with scandal and lots of little secrets, GLOSS is the book for you!
