Overnight Sensation - Jordan, Richard Tyler

. .

Résumé :
Tyler stirs up an intoxicating cocktail composed of equal parts delicious name-dropping gossip, venomous Hollywood satire and steamy boy-meets-boy action. - Publishers Weekly Prepare to plunge headfirst into the tumultuous, high-stakes world of Bart Caine, a battle-scarred publicist at Sterling Studios, the glittering epicenter of Hollywood's family entertainment empire. Bart's workplace is a breeding ground for arrogance and ego, where insufferable celebrities clash with monstrous movie studio executives. At the center of this maelstrom of power and ambition is his vicious boss, Stephanie Hough-a woman hell-bent on power and destroying Bart's career. But in Sin City, the spotlight doesn't shine solely on Bart. Enter Paco Castillo, a fiery Hispanic hustler whose dreams of a screenwriting career have been ruthlessly shattered by a nefarious and predatory showbiz agent. In this cutthroat industry where ambition drives every move and alliance, Paco wields his talents for manipulation like a weapon-especially in the bedroom, where his incendiary skills adapt effortlessly to intimate encounters with women and men equally. Exploiting his ability to captivate and control virtually anyone with his charm and sex appeal, he perceives Bart as his passport to the golden gates of the movie studios. However, a chance meeting with TV's quintessentially all-American and wholesome sitcom dad, Peter Jacks, offers an even more cunning and lucrative opportunity. The question isn't whether Paco is willing to go the distance; it's just how far he'll push the boundaries-because, as it turns out, there are no limits in Hollywood. As these showbiz mavericks set the stage for a revenge-fueled showdown against Stephanie and the ruthless entertainment industry, they inadvertently unearth a revelation with the potential for seismic reverberations throughout Hollywood. In a world where hidden agendas and scandalous secrets hold sway, Bart and Paco find themselves ensnared in career-defining battles. As they swim the treacherous waters teeming with opportunistic sharks hungry for blood, they discover just how murky the depths of Tinseltown can truly be.
