Synopsis

Hollywood Husbands are hot...Hollywood Husbands are

dynamic...Hollywood Husbands are sexy...

Jack Python is the hottest Hollywood Husband of all. He rules

nighttime T.V. and his controversial talk show burns up the ratings, while the

women he encounters melt. With one expensive divorce behind him, and involved

in a highly erotic affair with Oscar-winning actress Clarissa Browning, Jack

Python has power, charisma, success, and money. But sometimes everything isn't

enough.

Howard Soloman, head of Orpheus Studios, is the

man, the Hollywood King. Anything Howard wants, he gets. Including

women. The sweet smell of power and Howard's street-smart style reels them

in. Working for billionaire studio owner Zachary Klinger, a man with a whim of

iron, Howard has problems enough. And if Howard can't deliver daytime soap

megastar Silver Anderson at Klinger's command, he may lose his footing at the

top of the heap. Though in Hollywood it's said that when you fall, you fall up

-- from the top Howard has nowhere to go but down.

Mannon Cable is a superstar. With great looks and a body to

match, he is full of self-deprecating charm. Married briefly to gorgeous

Whitney Valentine, who left him to become a television superstar, he was hit by

the divorce where it really hurts -- his giant ego.

Jack Python, Howard Soloman, and Mannon Cable have been competitive friends for

years. Yet when Jade Johnson enters their lives, the least-expected one of the

self-styled "Three Comers" may have finally met his match.

Jade Johnson is a woman of the eighties. Strong, independent, a

top New York model, she comes to L.A. for a series of million-dollar TV

commercials. Jade is a dangerously beautiful woman with personal integrity and

a mind of her own. The Hollywood game fails to impress her, but slowly, surely,

she is sucked in. And, high roller that she is, if she must play, Jade will play to win.

HOLLYWOOD WIVES,with its ten-million copy sales, and its

spectacular success as a television mini-series, left Jackie Collins' devoted

audience avid for the other side of the story.

About the Author:

There have been many imitators, but only Jackie Collins can tell you what really goes on in the fastest lane of all -- from Beverly Hills bedrooms to the raunchy streets of Hollywood.

With 200 million copies of her books sold in more than 40 countries, Jackie Collins is one of the world's top-selling writers. In a series of controversial bestsellers, she has blown the lid off Hollywood life and loves. "I write about real people in disguise," she says. "If anything, my characters are toned down -- the truth is much more bizarre."

Jackie's sixteen bestselling novels have never been out of print, and all have been New York Times bestsellers. Now comes Thrill!, a high suspense story of sex, lust, relationships, fame, violence and terror. Her heroine is a beautiful movie star -- classy and untouchable, who hooks up with a handsome stud -- irresistible to women. Then there's her ex-husband. His ex-lovers. A fifteen year old wild child. An obsessed fan. And all the secrets in the world...

Jackie Collins started writing as a teenager, making up steamy stories her schoolmates paid to devour. Her first book, The World Is Full of Married Men became a sensational bestseller because Of its open sexuality and the way it dealt honestly with the double standard. After that came The Stud, Sinners, The Love Killers, The World Is Full of Divorced Women, The Bitch, Lovers and Gamblers, Chances, and then the international sensation, Hollywood Wives -- a number one New York Times bestseller, which was made into one of ABC's highest rated miniseries starring Anthony Hopkins and Candice Bergen.

The Stud, The World Is Full of Married Men, and The Bitch were also filmed -- this time for the big screen. And Jackie wrote an original movie, Yesterday's Hero, starring Ian McShane and Suzanne Somers.

Readers couldn't wait to race through Lucky, her next book -- a sequel to Chances -- and the story of an incredibly beautiful, strong woman, another New York Times number one.

Then came the bad boys of Hollywood in the steamy Hollywood Husbands -- a novel which kept everyone guessing the identities of the true-to-life Hollywood characters.

Jackie then wrote Rock Star -- the story of three rock superstars and their rise to the top, followed by the long-awaited sequel to Chances and Lucky -- Lady BOSS -- tracking the further adventures of the wild and powerful Lucky Santangelo as she takes control of a Hollywood studio.

Both Lucky and Chances were written and adapted for television by Jackie, who also executive produced the highly successful six-hour miniseries Lucky/Chances, starring Nicollette Sheridan, Sandra Bullock and Grant Show.

In 1992 she produced and wrote the four-hour miniseries, Lady Boss, which became another huge ratings success for NBC TV. Lady Boss starred Kim Delaney.

Next came American Star, a love story which the L.A. Times described as "classic Collins."

And then the dangerously close to the truth Hollywood Kids -- a story of power, sex, danger and ambition among the grown offspring of major celebrities.

In 1996, Vendetta - Lucky's Revenge was published -- and became an immediate New York Times bestseller. Vendetta brought back the ever popular Lucky Santangelo. In Vendetta, Lucky faces the biggest challenge of her life when Panther Studios is taken from her by Donna, the dangerous widow of the Santangelos' arch enemy, Santino Bonnatti. Donna plans to destroy Lucky in every way. But Lucky is street-smart and just as ruthless, and so the battle begins...

In her new novel, Thrill!, Jackie has created her signature mix of unputdownable characters. Thrill! is a psychological thriller for the nineties as only Jackie Collins can write it. A roller coaster ride of love, sex and suspense.

Ms. Collins lives in Los Angeles, California. Her hobbies are photography, soul music, and exploring exotic locations so she can write about them later. She is currently working on a new Lucky Santangelo novel, and a weekly T.V. series, Hollywood Dreams.
