It was the tumultuous romance that scandalized the world: Frank
Sinatra and Ava Gardner fought, loved, and lived life to the hilt. Now
their unbridled story is brought vividly to life by Heather Webb, the
bestselling author of Meet Me in Monaco and The Next Ship Home.
In the golden age of Hollywood, two of the brightest stars would
define--and defy--an era...
She was the small-town southern beauty transformed into a Hollywood love
goddess. He was the legendary crooner whose voice transfixed the world.
They were Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra. Separately they were
irresistible; together they were an explosive combination.
Ava's star is rising just as Frank's career--and public image as a
family man--is taking a hit. Gone are the days of the screaming
bobbysoxers and chart-topping hits. Ava, however, finds herself gracing
the front page of every tabloid in America. Jealousy and cheating
abound, and when the two succumb to their temperaments and their vices,
their happiness is threatened at every turn.
As the pair ride the rollercoaster of success and failure, passion and
anger, they both wonder if the next turn will be the end of their
careers, and most devastating of all--the end of all they've shared.
A captivating novel with a star-studded cast spanning continents and
decades, Strangers in the Night brings to life the most riveting love
story of the twentieth century.
