Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author and “queen of sexy stories” (Daily Mirror, London) Jackie Collins, this iconic “raunchy, brash, and suspenseful” (The New York Times) blockbuster pulls back the curtain on the power, sex, and ambition fueling Hollywood’s most glamorous marriages.
In Beverly Hills, appearances are everything—and popularity lasts only as long as your husband’s latest box-office hit. Behind the gates and glossy façades, Hollywood wives navigate fame, betrayal, and desire in a world where success is never guaranteed.
Elaine Conti is a Bronx-born striver determined to relaunch her husband’s fading acting career at any cost. Angel Hudson, newly married to a rising young star, is dangerously unprepared for Hollywood’s most unscrupulous men. And Montana Grey, a stunning and ambitious renegade, is fighting to break into the male-dominated industry behind the camera on her own terms.
As their lives collide, secrets surface, loyalties shatter, and ambition turns ruthless. Sexy, outrageous, and compulsively readable, Hollywood Wives exposes the glittering, cutthroat world of celebrity marriages before racing toward a shocking and unforgettable climax. This classic is its own version of Hollywood magic.
