The Merger. Blood and Celluloid, #3

The throne is within reach. But winning it might destroy her soul. Valentina Roberts is thirty-two and Studio President of Titan Pictures. But it's not enough. When Constellation Media Group proposes a fifteen-billion-dollar merger, Val sees her chance to become CEO-the youngest in entertainment history. There's one problem: Richard Sutherland III, Constellation's CEO, promised her autonomy. Instead, he delivers micromanagement and interference.
When he tries to undermine her, Val strikes back the only way she knows how-by destroying him. She leaks his decades-old insider trading scandal. Forces his resignation. Seizes the CEO position. Victory is complete. Until Val's body gives out. Exhaustion. Collapse. A heart rhythm so irregular doctors barely stabilize her. At thirty-two, she almost dies from the stress of winning. In the hospital, Val faces a terrible truth: she's climbed to the top by leaving a trail of destroyed lives behind her.
Her mentor Kerwin. Nicole Reyes. Two men named Richard Sutherland. Everyone who stood between her and power. And for what? An empty mansion and a title that's killing her?Book Three shows Val at her darkest-and her potential redemption. After years of ruthless ambition, she finally asks the question that matters: Is power worth the cost of her humanity?In Hollywood, you can have everything. But you might lose yourself getting it.
