As Alexandra Winslow climbs the ladder of publishing success, she resolutely adheres to her father's caution: men only read crime thrillers written by men. She publishes under the pseudonym of brilliantly successful Alexander Green, her true identity known only to those closest to her. This creates an isolating double life, but the right time to open up always seems just out of reach and the price of the truth always too high....

Heads always turned when Rose McCarthy walked into a room. Nearly six feet tall, she was ramrod straight, and impeccably put together with faultless style, long graceful legs, her snow-white hair cut in a chin-length rounded cap. Her piercing blue eyes missed nothing. She could terrify anyone with a few well-chosen, soft-spoken, eloquent words, or comfort and delight a young employee with generous praise. For 25 years, she had been the legendary editor in chief of Mode magazine.

Well Worth A Listen for DS Fans

Summary
A woman who longs to avoid risk at all cost learns that men who love danger are the most exciting in this moving novel from New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel.
After a carefree childhood, Mary Margaret Kelly came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a dashing daredevil Air Force pilot, died when she was nine. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. As the family moved from one city to the next, her mother warned her to beware of daredevil men and avoid risk at all cost.
Following her mother’s advice, and forgoing the magic of first love with a high school boyfriend who was too wild to feel safe, Maggie instead sought out all the things her mother had lost - a predictable partner, a stable home, and a regular paycheck. She chose to marry a dependable, kind man who was a reliable husband and successful accountant. Together they had a son and found happiness in a conventional suburban life. Until tragedy struck again.
Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from San Francisco to Rome, Paris, and Monaco. But when her travels reconnect her with the very same irresistible, thrill-seeking man she’s spent 30 years trying to forget, Maggie becomes terrified that rushing into love and sharing his life may very well end in disaster. But ultimately, while Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories of her past, fate will surprise her in the most astounding of ways, as she walks the tightrope between danger and courage, and between wisdom and love.

Not one of her best but still worth a listen
Danielle Steel is prolific, writing half a dozen novels a year, she has a great talent for a good story with triumph over adversity and a satisfying feel good ending. I love her books for these very reasons and listen to all of them.
Nine Lives was still a companionable listen but not one of her better books. It was extremely predictable and a bit wooden in places, and I felt that the ending was rushed.
The narrator made it a more pleasurable listen. It took me away from reality but I won’t be revisiting this one as I do with many of my much loved Steel novels.
If you’re a loyal fan you won’t regret listening to this, if you’re new to Danielle Steel I’d suggest you try one of her other bestsellers first.

Excellent book! Great story! As a person who doesn’t like romantic ANYTHING, I’d never thought I’d fall in love with a book like this. The narrator takes you on a heart felt and satisfying ride of the fluctuating emotional highs and lows of the main character. Almost brought me to tears. I love this book and I may just give this author’s extensive work of other books a listen♥️
