From The Publisher:
Rachael has it.
Harley wants it.
But what’s the true price of fame?
Rachael Carmichael was a global movie star, living in a glamorous world of red carpets, money, awards—and a high-profile wedding to director Greg Foster. So why did she become a total recluse when they divorced?
Aspiring actress Harley Roth is desperate to be as famous as her aunt Rachael. But even with her industry connections, she’s still stuck on the outside, waiting for her big break.
So when Harley hears there may be a biopic in the works about her aunt, she jumps at the chance. After all, everyone has always told her she looks exactly like Rachael—so who better to play the part? To her surprise, Rachael welcomes Harley into her life, and agrees to talk for the first time about her marriage, and the mysteries surrounding it.
But the movie industry is a world of ruthless ambition, underhand favours and twisted promises. After a lifetime of acting, can Harley trust that Rachael is telling her the truth? Because family ties don’t mean the same to everyone, and fame always comes at its own cost…
Why I Can’t Wait To Read Born For This:
While I haven’t read anything from this author before, the synopsis for this book has me intrigued. I enjoy venturing into the world of the movie industry and this one sounds as though it will have plenty of secrets and drama.
