A sweeping, intoxicating tale of love, ambition, and betrayal in golden-age Hollywood - perfect for fans of Evelyn Hugo, Taylor Jenkins-Reid, and Kristin Hannah. ??An English rose with American dreams

A romance born of ambition and betrayal
When Rex proposes, Audrey is swept into Hollywood's glamour and high-stakes secrets. But she soon discovers Rex's dark side and faces a choice: cling to a man who may never love her, or risk everything to forge her own path?
