NEW RELEASE
Beautiful People - Victoria Fox (2011)
aka Hollywood Sinners
Actress Lana Falcon is married to Hollywood powerhouse Cole Steel and about to star in the most-anticipated movie of the year. But it's not the fairytale marriage everyone thinks it is because of her husband's controlling ways and her heart still belongs to a past love. Las Vegas casino owner Robert St Louis is about to get engaged to heiress Elisabeth but another man has his eye on her. English model Chloe - who is dating arrogant rock star Nate - gets a chance to make it in Hollywood but she gets on the wrong side of an ageing beauty. As in all good bonkbusters, all these over-the-top characters' lives soon intertwine in a tale of lust, betrayal and revenge. There's lots of suspense and shock value built in - although some developments are so paper-thin, you could see them coming a mile off. Nevertheless Fox has delivered a pageturner of a debut about the wicked ways of the rich and famous.
From new author Victoria Fox comes a 600-plus-page tale about four couples called Hollywood Sinners (aka Beautiful People in Australia). The summary says: "Marriage to Hollywood heart-throb Cole Steel secured Lana Falcon a glittering place on the red carpet. But running from a wicked past she has trapped herself in a gilded cage. The price of freedom...her soul? Kate diLaurentis' career is fading as quickly as her looks ... What could be worse than discovering her husband's latest mistress is Hollywood's hottest starlet? Her only option the most shocking revenge. Chloe French's innocent beauty has captured a million hearts, but no one's warned her of the dangerous, dark temptation of rock star Nate - will lust destroy her? Las Vegas king Robert St Louis' fairytale wedding to Sin City's richest heiress is tabloid gold ... But scandal circles like a vulture - dirty secrets are about to be exposed! From the deepest desires come the deadliest deeds ... and these four couples are about to pay for their sins." Hollywood Sinners is out in April.
