Radiance — Anne Maybury
One of the most provocative and compelling novels ever written by ANNE MAYBURY, master storyteller of romantic suspense, RADIANCE is a novel that glitters with beauty and shines with subterfuge!
In her latest work, we are taken behind the scenes to the secret world of make-believe--to the gilded rooms of Contessa Cosmetics, an internationally renowned beauty salon. With Eve Thayer, the elegant, exquisite Contessa Girl, we discover lives dedicated to attaining glamour, wealth, and beauty--at any price.
Eve Thayer was a talented young artist learning her trade when the Contessa Regina Vivanecsa saw her at a cocktail party. The older woman was the director of Contessa Cosmetics, an international firm with salons and manufacturing facilities all over the world. Struck by Eve's special beauty, the Contessa persuaded her to come to work for a year as “The Contessa Girl,” the unique model and representative of the company's products and beauty goals.
Flattered and intrigued, Eve agreed to take the job, but she soon found her life consumed by the company -- particularly so after she and Regina's son, Adrian, fell in love and married? Now, her work as the company model has come to seem meaningless, but as Even tries to get back into work closer to her own interest, her desires are thwarted by the powerful Regina, who dictates to the members of her family all the details of their personal and business lives.
