The Image Maker
Hollywood Hearts ~ 1
When elite public relations strategist Isla Ryder accepts a career-defining opportunity to rebrand Hollywood's most notorious 'bad boy', Roman Lysander, she expects a challenge, but not the earth-shattering chemistry that ignites between them from the very start.
Isla has built her reputation on control, strategy, and keeping her distance. Roman has perfected the art of living up to his scandalous reputation while hiding his true self behind the glittering façade. But when their professional arrangement becomes intensely personal, both discover that some connections cannot be managed or manufactured.
With a multi-million-dollar film project hanging in the balance, powerful Hollywood dynasties at war, and secrets that could destroy everything they've worked for, Isla and Roman must decide if what's burning between them is worth risking their carefully constructed worlds because in a city built on illusions, the most dangerous gamble isn't with their careers; it's with their hearts.
Sometimes the best strategy is simply telling the truth. But in Hollywood, the truth can be the most dangerous weapon of all.
GET READY! Fall in love with Roman Lysander in The Image Maker - 2025's Best Romance! It's a page-turner!

Person
It could be said Katherine Owen has a penchant for angst, a little drama, and the unintentional complications of love. Owen believes this began early on when she won a poetry contest at fourteen and appears to be without end. Owen has an avid love of coffee, books, wine, and writing, but not necessarily in that order. Katherine Owen writes both Contemporary Romance and New Adult fiction which includes her bestselling TRUTH IN LIES Series (a series despite despising 'series') beginning with "This Much Is True" and the second book, "The Truth About Air & Water" and the third book, Tell Me Something True. The TRUTH IN LIES series is fan-driven. Owen is aware fans want even more of Linc and Tally. She says, 'We will see...doesn't mean "no"; doesn't mean yes.'About Owen's fiction...this is NOT the light trope stuff. Owen travels a unique, writerly path and enjoys writing dark and angsty (a "non-word" she is fond of) emotional love stories. The author often warns readers to be prepared with time, tissues, wine, Advil or your drug of choice. And, as her most favored character, Lincoln Presley, would say, "Do what you must, Princess."Katherine is always writing... or is that thinking about writing?Owen lives in an old house near Seattle with her family, where she's working on her next book, like always, while her family wishes she would clean better and cook more often. Cinderella, she is not; and she constantly reminds them of this.

Someone has to capture the sad, emotional love stuff that often collides with fate. It might as well be me. Apparently, I am THAT writer." ~ Katherine Owen
