The Make

The Art of Reinvention

Step into the electric underworld of London’s beauty scene, where ambition is carved as sharply as cheekbones and loyalties shift faster than foundation shades. In The Make, Jessie Keane invites you behind the velvet ropes of the city’s most exclusive salons, following charismatic stylist Frankie Malone as she builds an empire on talent, tenacity, and a touch of defiance. From neon-lit blow-dry bars in Shoreditch to clandestine VIP suites in Mayfair, each chapter pulses with the thrill of reinvention—and the peril that comes when past debts demand repayment.

Secrets in Every Stroke

Frankie’s rise to the top is anything but glamorous. Beneath the lacquered nails and designer smocks lie scars from broken alliances and whispered betrayals. When an enigmatic rival resurfaces—brandishing a grudge as potent as a high-end hair serum—Frankie finds her world splintering under the glare of paparazzi flashbulbs. Old friends become foes, and every snip of shears carries the weight of survival. Keane’s razor-sharp prose captures the high-stakes drama of backstage rivalries, where a single misstep can topple a dynasty built on style and swagger.

Beauty and Betrayal

As Frankie navigates red-carpet events and late-night strategy sessions over champagne, she confronts the ultimate question: how far will she go to protect her legacy—and her heart? With the support of a fiercely loyal team and an unexpected ally from the world of luxury cosmetics, she must outwit saboteurs, expose hidden agendas, and reclaim her crown in a climactic showdown on London’s most glamorous runway. Through every twist of fate, The Make delivers a potent blend of grit, glamour, and unyielding courage.
