Though things look beautiful
to the naked eye, when you look between the cracks of fame and fortune, things
aren’t always what they seem.
Prosperity Baxter (Peri) is
selling her soul for fame – figuratively of course. Everyone who is anyone in
Hollywood has gone through Jameson Frye to get there. Peri has a once in a
lifetime meeting with him, set up by her father Harris Baxter, the biggest name
in hypnotism on the entire West Coast.
But in the movie industry,
you don’t get something for nothing. Peri pays the ultimate price before she is
thrust full speed ahead into her new acting career. The manager Jameson sets
her up with, bad-boy HUDSON GREGOR, is known for his amoral reputation. Peri
learns early on that Hudson is not to be crossed. But when secrets begin to
surface as the scenes from the horror film she is starring in begin to dredge
up memories she was never supposed to remember, she will have to learn to rely
on him.
Lies, cover-ups and an
unthinkable initiation all leave her desperate for answers.
Prosperity is determined to
find out if there is enough good in this world to overcome the evil she sees
everywhere she looks – even in her own eyes.

About the Author
Brittany Raschdorf is a devoted mother of two who lives in Chesapeake,
Virginia with her husband and their two dogs. Growing up, Brittany was always
tethered to a book, only putting them down occasionally to play in the mud or
roughhouse with her brother. She knew deep down she had a passion for words—it
was the way the black jumped off the white and landed in her soul as she read.
But it wasn’t until she began to write that she truly came alive. And it wasn’t
until she became a mother that she realized she had a story to tell.
