Publisher Description
Diva supreme Yancey Harrington Braxton is working her way back to Broadway and beyond—and stirring up drama in and out of the spotlight—in the acclaimed New York Times bestseller from E. Lynn Harris.
After being out on tour, the ambitious singer and actress is fired up to move past her recent setbacks—including an explosive romance with NFL tight end John Basil Henderson—and prove her talents are stronger than ever. What Yancey really wants is to star in her own reality TV series, and she’s even found a rich and well-connected lover to make it happen. There are, however, two women fierce enough to derail Yancey’s comeback dreams: Madison B., a hot new bombshell taking the music industry by storm, and Ava Middlebrooks, who happens to be Yancey’s own mama dearest.
Not even a stint in prison for attempted murder has curbed Ava’s competitive nature. Now she will bring down her #1 rival—her own daughter—by using Madison B. to turn Yancey’s world upside-down.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Yancey Harrington Braxton returns in bestseller E. Lynn Harris's (A Love of My Own) sadly last novel (the author died in July) for another sex and betrayal filled romp. Diva Yancey, fast fading into Z-list territory, is nearly broke and acting in a traveling production of Dreamgirls, reprising her role in the original theater production with a bunch of hacks. Then she meets and is immediately impressed by wealthy S. Marcus Pinkston, who wants to produce a reality TV show he claims will rejuvenate her career. Simultaneously, Yancey's mother, Ava, is released from prison with a devious plan for revenge. And when Ava's on the scene, it means deception, trickery and the revelation of Yancey's innermost secrets. Throw in some ex-lovers along with Madison, the daughter Yancy gave up years ago who's now back on the scene as her mother's major show biz competitor, and ride the wave of high drama to Yancey's redemption and ultimate happiness. Nobody ever said entertainment had to be plausible.
