Marcia Green is a sophisticated, witty, successful New Yorker, a whiz of a
political speech writer, a woman who finds a smoke-filled room more
intoxicating than a magnum of champagne. Her private life is a little less
bubbly. She has a passionate but not very promising live-in relationship
with her boss's dashing chief of staff, Jerry Morrissey. He offers her only
a good time- but what a time!
Can Marcia resist when a new man arrives on the scene, a man who is exactly
the sort her family wants her to marry- bright, kind, attractive, wealthy,
and charming- in short, too good to be real?
Marcia's determination to find the right kind of man, as well as the right
kind of life, makes Close Relations a compelling novel. It is a book that
says something very important about the things that are vital to all of us,
about men and women, about sex, money, work, family values and about what we
need most in today's world- close relations.

"When Rhett swept Scarlett up the stairs, women had their ultimate fantasy. No more. Thanks to Susan Isaacs and CLOSE RELATIONS, we now have a wonder ful new fantasy to titillate ourselves with. He's smart, funny, rich, handsome and ardently sexy."

"A RISIBLE ROMP THROUGHOUT...Delightful...witty...astringent and candid — the snappy dialogue yielding up laughs on every page, the love story tender and satisfying, the plot pulsing with adrenalin."
