A racy, romantic, escapist story filled with glamour and heart and set in the movie world of Hollywood, by the author of Seduction and The Perfect Location.


Even movie stars aren't always ready for their close up, especially when it may expose the secrets of the past.

Zoe Green manages the careers of Hollywood's biggest stars. She'll do anything to help them - and herself - get ahead.

Actress Maggie Hall has been America's sweetheart for nearly twenty years. And she's about to learn that there are two things in life you just can't fight- growing older and falling in love.

Dylan Mercer - young, beautiful and defiant - has run away from New York to try her luck in Hollywood. She's not after fame and fortune, though. Dylan's on a quest to find her birth mother.

All three women are swept up in the search for the actress who will score the role of a lifetime. But ambition and desire can bring out the worst in people. And in a town built on illusions, believing you can escape your past might just be the biggest illusion of all.

A racy, romantic story brimming with glamour and heart from the author of Seduction and The Perfect Location.
