Lauren McAllen, one of the lead characters in my contemporary romance novel, The Scandal, has achieved fame in a town where few become successful. For the past ten years she’s played an iconic vamp on a top-rated soap opera. This has made her a household name and the woman fans love to hate. Now Lauren is ready to move on and become a star on the big screen.
Once again, luck appears to be on Lauren’s side. Hollywood mogul Calvin Michaelson has seen her work and soon offers her a supporting role in a feature film. For Lauren, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. However, it may come at a price. While Cal has made other women famous, he has a reputation for expecting certain favors in return. Unfortunately for Lauren, Cal is accused of a serious wrongdoing before the camera starts rolling, and she will soon find herself caught up in a major scandal which rocks Hollywood.
Lauren is a fictitious character. Her inspiration came from a cousin who once played on a soap opera many years ago. However, Lauren is a unique individual. Her life is very different from from my cousin’s.
