Synopsis

High-level corruption, high-priced addiction, high-voltage infidelity. The American Dream . . .

Loving husband, doting father, respected politician. On the surface, California Governor Montavious ‘Monty’ Fields appears to have it all—and he intends to keep it that way. But even a powerful man like Monty can’t control everything or everyone . . .

First Lady Ellaina ‘Elle’ Lockhart-Fields has a juicy secret. One that she’s succeeded in keeping under wraps. Until her longtime lover shows up as her husband’s top security officer and threatens to ruin everything. Desperate, Elle concocts a clever plan. But it’s far more dangerous than she realizes.

Thanks to her scandalous affair with the governor, single mother Brooklyn Price is living in luxury. But empty nights and lonely holidays are starting to break her spirit. A passionate encounter with a mystery man inspires her to leave Monty. But that’s not as easy as she thinks…

Behind it all is a reporter who’s been tracking Monty’s every move, determined to bring him down, no matter who he has to seduce to get the job done. And as pressure from the women in Monty’s life, the press, and his partners in white-collar crime starts to boil over, Monty begins to unravel in ways no one sees coming . . .

Across her slim, slick, razor-sharp takedown of Brazil's self-obsessed, silver-spooned elites, Clara Drummond stages the collision of several seemingly incongruous worlds: the favela and the filthy rich; the down-to-earth and the out-of-touch; the self-aware and the inconsiderate, the insensitive, t......more

eu gostei muito, só queria que a construção da vivian (muito boa e complexa, por sinal) tivesse um propósito maior que a autorreferência. acho que esse livro poderia ser impecável se fosse mais bem trabalhado, mas, de todo forma, achei bem interessante e me senti representada mais do que eu queria......more

A publicação de certos livros só pode ser explicada por uma mistura de ter os contatos certo, um pacto inaudito de mediocridade e dívidas de jogo.......more
