If you're going to step on people on your way to the top, you might as well do it in stilettos... ... Or so she's been told. Lucy Butler, former wallflower, lands her dream job working for her idol, world-famous fashion photographer Stefano Lepres. But in a world where getting doused in coffee for not getting the order right is the new normal, she isn't getting any closer to her ideal of being behind the camera herself. Then a superstar actress generously takes Lucy under her wing and teaches her the ways of the rich and famous-treating her to racks of designer clothes and introducing her to a life of private planes and penthouse suites. Soon Lucy is dating a rock star, attending the hottest Hollywood parties, and dressing the part. Lost in the luxury, she loses sight of the things that once mattered most. It's going to take a hard blow from the high life to send Lucy back to the real life she always wanted. From an industry insider-and featuring wardrobes personally selected by celebrity stylist Robert Verdi-this is a novel that will keep you guessing and introduce you to a world you know exists; you've just never seen it unretouched.
