Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag hasn't written any fiction since his debut novel
rocked the literary world of the 1980s and then left him with a
paralyzing case of writer's block. Since then, he's been reduced to
ghostwriting celebrity memoirs. But his newest project could have him
diving back into the world of fiction in a way he never imagined.
Nikki Dymtryk is Hollywood's hottest reality TV star, known for her wild
party lifestyle and prolific sexual conquests across the music, film,
and sports industries. But when the ratings for her show Being Nikki
begin to drop, the Dymtryk family engineers a new plan to keep Nikki in
the limelight: reinventing the young star as a bestselling author.
Nikki's team hires Hoagy to ghostwrite a steamy romance novel showcasing
the glitz and glamor of the Hollywood elite.
Reluctantly, Hoagy flies out to L.A. with his trusty basset hound Lulu
to see what he's gotten himself into with Nikki. But when he finally
meets the starlet, she's nothing like the aimless, airhead image she
presents to the media. This project may just be the key to getting
Hoagy's creative juices flowing again--and staying in L.A. might also
give him a chance at getting back together with his actress ex-wife,
Merilee. But spending time with Nikki isn't all parties and poolside
lounging. As Hoagy gets closer to the young woman, he begins to uncover
the Dymtryk family's dark secrets. Secrets that are worth killing for.
