Idolized

A Hollywood Stardust Novel

By Kim Carmichael

He has the fame but she has the fortune…

The only word to accurately describe Ryder Scott’s life is charmed. A superstar on all counts, he gets everything he wants with a wink, a smile and a promise he never plans on fulfilling. With his sights set on having the movie he wrote produced, he takes the easy road and secures funding from the underbelly of society. The only issue is he used the money for other necessities including designer clothes and sports cars. Out of cash, he’s in trouble.

Cold, calculated and conniving, Cora Caine is one of the youngest female Internet billionaires in history. Her success stems from hard work and a will of steel. Now she’s up for the position of CEO of Ultracom, but in order to earn her place, she must learn to be likable. Whoever said business was nice?

When Ryder thrusts himself into Cora’s perfectly planned life and promises to help her get her dream job all for the small fee of paying for his movie, the offer seems made in negotiation heaven. She never considered he might be risking her life as well as her checkbook to his benefit.

However, when their hearts enter their business deal, they find there may be things in life more important than being Idolized.

Idolized is the third and final book in the Hollywood Stardust series. Each book is stand alone with their own central couple and no cliffhangers.

BIO

Virginia is a mom to two beautiful children and resides in Minnesota. Any spare time is spent watching TV, reading, facebooking and spending time with friends.

A love for reading and writing is a new concept for Virginia. Before the Twilight rave and a need to know the ending after Eclipse was released in theaters, Virginia preferred to watch the movie or convince a friend to read the book for her. Needing to know the story of a random homeless man that she encountered on a freeway exit ramp, was the only reason she began writing in the first place. Soulless Nights spawned from the unknown story and a dare from her friends.

She has had the pleasure of working with some of her favorite authors. Street teams, beta reading and cover modeling were what led her to the world of writing.

She currently PA’s for Kyle Perkins and has begun co-writing Humanity’s Ark: Kepler with him.

Currently she has released Soulless Nights and a short story within the anthology Doctrine of Indecency: 18 Coveted Tales of Lust.

Vindicate, Kepler, Freeing Olivia and Soulless Days are current works in progress, soon to be released.

Book: The Letter: Dear Michael

Author: Theresa Sederholt

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Goodreads Book Link

Synopsis

MICHAEL

He thought his life was perfect. He was ready to take the next step: get married and eventually start a family. Then, a “Dear John” letter and the unearthing of a deeply buried secret turn his dream into a nightmare.

A product of rape.

A family with hidden enemies.

A bank account with more zeros than can be deemed natural.

Michael’s hope of a life without limitations seems too far out of reach to ever be truly realized. The pressure of family, safety, and secrets is overwhelming. Everyone turns to him, but who can he turn to?

“When you step outside the box, you never know who might want to dance with you.”

DAGEN

Dagen is a type A personality who doesn’t let her own insecurities allow others to pull the wool over her eyes. However, they have boxed her in, limiting her life experiences.

That is, until Michael comes along and tries to convince her to step out of her comfort zone. It’s then that he realizes they have that in common; he needs to step out too.

They both learn that when two hearts are searching for each other, nothing and no one can stand in the way. That is until Michael's life hangs in the balance.

A face from Michael's past might hold the key to his future.

But what kind of hoops have to be jumped through to get that key?
