Hollywood Wives

Glimmers Beneath the Spotlight

Hollywood Wives by Jackie Collins plunges readers into the dazzling yet treacherous world of Tinseltown, where ambition glints brighter than diamonds and every red carpet conceals a thousand whispered secrets. Set against the backdrop of glimmering premieres and opulent penthouses, the novel follows a circle of powerful women—movie stars, agents, and socialites—whose carefully curated facades mask hidden scandals. From back-stage rivalries at the Kodak Theatre to clandestine meetings in Beverly Hills spas, Collins exposes the high price of fame and the lengths to which one will go to protect both reputation and heart.

Echoes of Glamour and Betrayal

At its centre are four unforgettable heroines: Elaine Conti, the once-washed-up actress making a triumphant comeback; Nikki Romano, a hard-edged agent with a perfect exterior and a perilous secret; Sadie La Valliere, the heiress whose fortune can’t shield her from love’s betrayals; and Montana Gray, the ingénue whose innocence becomes her greatest weapon. As their lives intertwine through joint ventures and vicious back-stabbing, the stakes escalate—paternity suits, corporate takeovers, and a shocking murder plot all unfold with relentless momentum. Collins’s razor-sharp dialogue crackles like paparazzi flashes, illuminating how quickly trust can turn to ashes.

Reflections in the Rearview Mirror

When a fateful car chase along Mulholland Drive triggers a cascade of revelations—hidden affairs, forged alliances, and shattered loyalties—the women must decide whether to forge new bonds of sisterhood or to tear one another apart in the pursuit of survival. In a breathless climax that spans Hollywood Hills rooftops to secret backlot passages, each heroine confronts the ultimate question: what is worth sacrificing for fame, and who among them will emerge unscathed when the final curtain falls?
