Skirts may be shorter now, and messages sent by iPhone, but passion, intrigue, and a lust for power don’t change. National bestselling author Carol Wolper spins a mesmerizing tale of a twenty-first-century Anne Boleyn.

Wily, intelligent, and seductive, with a dark beauty that stands out among the curvy California beach blondes, Anne attracts the attention of Henry Tudor, the handsome corporate mogul who reigns in Hollywood. Every starlet, socialite, and shark wants a piece of Henry, but he only wants Anne. The question is: can she keep him? 
     Welcome to a privileged world where hidden motives abound, everyone has something to sell, and safe havens don’t exist. With her older sister Mary, a pathetic example of a royal has-been, Anne schemes to marry her beloved Henry and even more challenging, stay married to this man who has more options than most and less guilt than is good for either of them. Success will mean contending with backstabbing “friends,” Henry’s furious ex-wife, and the machinations of her own ambitious family, and staying married to a man who has more options than most and less guilt than is good for either of them will take all her skill. Anne will do anything to hold on to the man—and the lifestyle—she adores, however, even if sticking your neck out in Hollywood means risking far worse than a broken heart. With Henry’s closest confidante scheming against her, and another beautiful contender waiting in the wings, Anne is fighting for her life. Can she muster the charm and wit to pull off her very own Hollywood ending?

About the Author:
Carol Wolper got her start in Hollywood working for producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. In 1999, her debut novel, The Cigarette Girl became a national bestseller that was translated into seven languages. Over the last six years Carol has written three pilot scripts for ABC, as well as scripts for CBS, FX, HBO, and Warner Brother Studio. She has written for Vogue, Los Angeles Magazine (where she had her own column), “C” magazine, L.A. Confidential, Art Basel Magazine, and the L.A. Times Sunday magazine where she is currently a contributing writer.
From Booklist:
A screenwriter known for penning novels that send up the cult of celebrity (The Cigarette Girl, 1999; Secret Celebrity, 2002; Mr. Famous, 2004) puts a twist on the formula by updating the story of Anne Boleyn and setting it in Hollywood. Handsome Henry Tudor is an Internet whiz turned film-studio mogul, and every blonde in town has set her sights on landing one of the most powerful men in show business. But it’s dark-haired, intelligent Anne Boleyn who has caught Henry’s fancy, and she is suddenly moving in a rarefied world, with servants at her beck and call and unlimited spending money. But all is not serene in the realm, for Anne must deal with Henry’s bitter ex-wife, Catherine, and their spoiled daughter; fend off the machinations of Henry’s right hand, businesswoman Theresa Cromley; and keep various hangers-on and groupies at bay, all of whom, especially young jewelry designer Jane Seymour, want a piece of their fortune. Although the royal theme wears a bit thin by novel’s end, this cynical view of the price of fame makes for a breezy, entertaining read. --Joanne Wilkinson
