Tracie Howard Book Signing July 30, 2009

Tracie Howard is back with all of the Gucci, glitz, and glamour in this steamy follow-up to her smash hit Gold Diggers!

“Nothing in life comes without a price. The only question is who will pick up the tab?” Gillian Tillman’s mother Imelda may not have figured out how she will return to the ranks of the moneyed elite (husband number six, perhaps?), but she certainly has a way with words...and wiles. And if her daughter won't be as ruthless as necessary to secure their fortunes, Imelda has a few tricks left to teach. In the follow-up to the steamy page turner Gold Diggers, readers are again offered V.I.P. passes to the world of Gucci, glitz and glamour in FRIENDS & FAUXS by Tracie Howard.

With dreams of becoming a huge star, Gillian Tillman has slept her way right into the million-dollar mansion of her now-husband, star-producer Brandon Russell. The marriage has been fruitful so far: a turn on the silver screen complete with commercial success and critical acclaim in the form of the tall, gold and handsome Mr. Oscar. Gold Diggers is the movie that makes Gillian's name and her career, but can she stay with the man who made it all possible after she discovers Brandon is a smooth-talking money launderer who's a “person of interest” in the murder of her friend Paulette?

Gillian may have to decide quicker than she wants to after she fires her publicist Lydia who now has a hunger for revenge. Lydia begins digging, trying to find any evidence to bring the police knocking on Gillian’s door. Who she discovers is Maximillian Neuman III, an ex-attorney and a former suspect in Paulette's murder. Will she be able to resist his charm to get the dirt she seeks?

Meanwhile, Gillian’s best friends are struggling with issues of their own. Reese’s beloved son falls ill, and she’s forced to decide between spilling a long-kept secret and saving her son’s life; and Lauren’s hard-won happiness is jeopardized when a shocking betrayal is revealed.

Buckle your seatbelts for the wild page-turning romp of FRIENDS & FAUXS. With this fresh new novel, Tracie Howard, the author of WHY SLEEPING DOGS LIE, NEVER KISS AND TELL, and GOLD DIGGERS has brought her readers inside the velvet ropes of the rich and the famous, where they'll learn that only a thin line separates your friends from your fauxs.
