The favor. Blood and Celluloid, #1

She owes her career to a favor. They'll owe her everything. Valentina Roberts is twenty-four, beautiful, and ruthless. When her mob underboss uncle calls in a favor with legendary studio head Harvey Kerwin, Val gets her foot in Hollywood's door-as an executive assistant making coffee and taking abuse. Most people would quit. Val sees opportunity. She watches. She learns. She collects secrets like currency.
And when the moment is right, she strikes. In eighteen months, Val climbs from assistant to VP of Production, leaving a trail of destroyed careers behind her. She buys the mansion of a dead Hollywood icon and turns it into her fortress-a place where deals are made over wine and whispered secrets, where careers live or die on Val's word. But success breeds enemies. And in Hollywood, everyone's watching, waiting for you to slip. Book One of the Blood and Celluloid series introduces Valentina Roberts-a woman who will stop at nothing to own the dream factory.
No conscience. No limits. No mercy. In the City of Angels, she's the devil in designer heels.
