Friends and Rivals

Book excerpt: "Cat fears she is past her prime. Her philandering husband, Ivan, whom she still loves passionately after twenty years of marriage, leaves her for a younger woman. Devastated, there is only one person left who Cat trusts. Kendall seems to have it all: a glittering recording career, wealth, and beauty. But underneath her tough exterior she hides a vulnerability--she is helplessly struggling with an unrequited love. When Kendall's need for success consumes her, she won't let anyone stand in her way. Ava is an innocent, plucked from obscurity and thrown into the cut-throat world of fame. When she is pitted against Kendall, the world watches closely, wondering which of them will survive. As these three women try to navigate through a backstabbing world of fortune, stardom and greed, will they be tempted to betray the people they hold dearest?"--Page 4 of cover.
