Liza, Kellyanne and Billie are ambitious heroines chasing their dreams in the demimondes of media politics, reality television and rock music. Their journey unfolds thrill by thrill, shock by shock in an unputdownable story about the illusions of glamour, the dark side of success, the elusiveness of love and the fragility of relationships. Three incidents will change their lives forever: a career free fall, a surprise pregnancy and a brutal murder. And it all happens during one unforgettable season at a summer share in the Hamptons. Tan Lines – a Valley of the Dolls for the 21st century – portrays their passions, triumphs and heartbreaks with a sly intelligence and a wickedly sharp prose that will be loved by fans of Jackie Collins, Jacqueline Susann and a whole new generation of readers.

Angela Dawson, M.D., appears to have it all: at thirty-seven, she owns a fabulous New York City apartment, a stunning seaside house on Nantucket, and enjoys the perks of her prosperous lifestyle. With her controlling interest in three busy specialty hospitals in NYC and plans for others in Miami and Los Angeles, Angela’s future looks very bright. But her climb to the top was rough, marked by a troubled childhood, a failed marriage, and the devastating blow of bankruptcy. Then a surge of drug-resistant staph infections in all three hospitals devastates Angela’s carefully constructed world. Not only do the infections result in patient deaths, but the fatalities cause stock prices to tumble. Will Angela be able to hold her empire together? Newly married Medical examiners Laurie Montgomery and Jack Stapleton are professionally and personally intrigued by these deaths. With Jack facing surgery in one of the hospitals to repair a torn ligament, Laurie can’t help investigating, opening a Pandora’s box of corporate intrigue that threatens not just her livelihood, but her life with Jack as well.
