Tracie Howard is back with all of the Gucci, glitz, and glamour in this steamy follow-up to her smash hit Gold Diggers!
Gillian Tillman learned all about landing a wealthy man from her globe-trotting mother, Imelda, but this second-generation gold digger has a style all her own. With big dreams of becoming a huge star, she slept her way right into the million-dollar mansion of her now-husband, star-producer Brandon Russell. He not only launched Gillian’s film career, but landed her the starring and Oscar-nominated role in the hit film Gold Diggers. But all that glitters may not be gold. Gillian wrestles with the real possibility that Brandon may be a mob-connected money launderer, and worse yet, may have had a hand in the murder of her friend Paulette. When pictures of her naked surface on the Internet, both Gillian’s Oscar dreams and her marriage are threatened, even though she swears they aren’t of her. Meanwhile her best friends are struggling with issues of their own. Reese’s beloved son falls ill and she’s forced to decide between spilling a long-kept secret and saving his life, and Lauren’s hard-won happiness is threatened by a shocking betrayal.
Buckle your seatbelt as the lives of these larger-than-life characters intersect in a wild, page-turning romp.

Lifestyle editor and columnist for Savoy magazine, Tracie Howard is an expert on the New York City social scene, focusing on stories that highlight young upwardly mobile urban socialites surrounded by love, lust, betrayal, and greed. Brooke Parrish has finally met the man of her dreams-irresistibly handsome investment banker Taylor Hudson. But when Brooke learns Taylor is stuck in a loveless marriage to greedy interior designer Kiernan Malloy, their relationship quickly grows complicated, leaving Brooke to sort out a puzzle of lies and revenge.

Tracie Howard and Danita Carter’s previous joint effort, Revenge Is Best Served Cold, has been praised by Booklist as “consistently compelling” and Essence proclaims it a “glitzy romp.” In this tale of secrets and style, a wealthy Wall Street investment banker, Lyle Johnson, seems to have found an ideal business partner in Tess Aventura Dubois. She is a wealthy widow who has just moved back to New York City with enough cash to make his bar a swinging night spot. But behind her glamorous facade, lays a disturbing secret that could be Lyle’s downfall.
