Things always came easily to Sophie's older sister Karen because of her stunning beauty, but in the big city she quickly encounters the harsh realities of the cut-throat modeling business and quickly discovers that in New York, the competition is always a little bit taller or a little bit thinner. In order to succeed, Karen must take risks and decide just how much of a sacrifice she is willing to make. After a series of frustrating jobs, Lynn lands a position in the fashion industry, working for a hot designer. However, the job puts her in daily contact with her old college flame, now-married millionaire Julian Fiske--the one real love of her life. Julian still has feelings for Lynn, and she wrestles with her own emotions and morals as their relationship threatens to turn romantic. Helicopter rides, high-rises, and hedonistic parties--the Kerrs are definitely not in New Mexico anymore. But no matter what challenges the City throws their way, or what temptations may lead them astray, these three women are a family, and will always be there for one another, pursuing life in love in the greatest city on earth as they realize the true meaning of "beautiful people."
