"e;'Here is a woman who not only wanted to entertain her readers, but also to teach them something; about the world and about themselves."e; - Isabelle Broom, author of The Wedding SpeechWhat does it take to become a superstar? In one of her most romantic stories ever, Jackie Collins invites readers on an epic, emotional journey as two star-crossed lovers from the same small Midwestern town strike out to find ultimate fame at any cost. Even with his jet-black hair, bright blue eyes, and insatiable drive, go-getter Nick Angelo can't escape the stigma of being the abused son of a shiftless, alcoholic father. Still, he tries to shake off his origins, and his charms soon win him the attention and affection of socialite Lauren Roberts. Lauren's upper-crust family is vehemently against the union of their little princess and the town pariah, and they will do whatever they can to break the two up-culminating in a horrible tragedy that sets the lovers on different paths for decades. Nick goes on to become one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and Lauren enters the New York modeling world, surprising everyone with a career that takes off in a direction she never expected. ,br>Yet as much time passes, haunted by a dark secret they share, Nick and Lauren can never forget each other. And when they reunite, their old spark is about to ignite in this compelling story of love, sex. . .and murder. This powerful saga is set against the glamorous backgrounds of New York and Hollywood, and delves into the depths and dangers of a forbidden relationship. Nick and Lauren's electric love story will keep you up. . . all night long!

Autor

There have been many imitators but only ever one Jackie Collins. The iconic British author was called 'the definition of a class act' by Graham Norton and a 'smart, talented and gorgeous woman who paved the road for many of us' by Sandra Bullock. With millions of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-one international bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world's top-selling novelists. Her first novel, The World Is Full of Married Men, was published in 1968 and established Jackie as an author who dared to step where no other female writers had gone before. Jackie was awarded an OBE in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honour she said to the Queen, 'Not bad for a school drop-out' - a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true. Jackie Collins lived in Beverly Hills where she had a front row seat to the lives she so accurately captured in her compulsive plotlines. She was a creative force, a trailblazer for women in fiction and, in her own words, 'A kick-ass writer!'
