About This Book

These three came together in a savage, three-cornered game--with fame, fortune and a vast publishing empire at stake...and no one was censored...TRAVIS BURKE--the raw young genius who came out of nowhere to turn on the pressure-cooker publishing world with his searing writing power, and conquer its women with his animal-like virility...DOROTHY DAWES--the wildly popular novelist whose real-life compulsive sexuality made her lurid historical romances seem pale, and who became first Burke's teacher--and then his slave...JACKSON KING--the literary star-making and breaking super agent, who set out to control Burke by corrupting him, catering to his basest appetites and poisoning what was best...They all knew that the path to the top of the bestseller lists ran through the boardrooms, the backrooms, and the bedrooms--and that they were expected to pay their dues along the way...THE MAGNATE: the novel that does for books what SCRUPLES did for boutiques!
