Résumé

Marina (one name, like Cher) is the most famous woman of her generation. Beautiful, charming, adored by the public, she's been at the top of her game for years. And if all that time at the top has taught her anything, it's that everything and everyone can be bought with money, sex, or power. She's got all of it in spades, so she might as well have fun with it. Build a zoo in her back garden because she doesn't want to go to the public one? No problem. Ruin someone's career because she doesn't like the outfit they wore to her party? Fine. Raze a small forest because she likes watching it burn from her window? Go for it. None of it ever comes back to her. As far as the world is concerned, she's perfect. And as far she's concerned, the world is hers for the taking.

That is, until she meets Anna in a bar one night. Anna seems indifferent towards Marina's glamour, and at first, that's intriguing. She's enjoying the thrill of the chase, the feeling of having to work for something for a change. But Anna proves unrelenting, and Marina, who's never been denied anything in her life, doesn't get it. She wants Anna, and she'll do whatever it takes to get her. But as Marina's plans become more unhinged, lives start to unravel, and there's no telling what might get caught in the crossfire...
