About this title

Review

" Take one vindictive aging tycoon and three charismatic, ambitious sons; add one nai ve heiress, one aspiring R& B diva, one British (titled, natch) lady of the house; throw in a dash of Russian mafia, kinky sex and a pinch of rap mogul, fabulous locations and a sprinkling of murders, and you have the ingredients for a fast-paced, glamour-heavy Collins extravaganza... the ever-stylin' Collins manages to tie the scattered plot lines together into another page-turning tale packed with intrigue, revenge and romance for her St. Martin' s debut." - "Publishers Weekly"
