CHAPTER ONE

BY RIGHTS CARA should have felt like she was on top of the world

And she had been yesterday when her agent had informed her that she had won the lucrative De career in a more serious direction

On soent had pulled it off and she probably wouldn’t relax until the big announce Sunday evening Eight days from now

It was going to be such a big deal that despite all her experience in the public eye, Cara knew that she would be nervous on the night Especially when things had a tendency to go wrong for her at peak moments in her life and she had no idea why

Not that she would let anything get in the way this tient had worked really hard to paint Cara in the best light possible To explain that she had changed, that she was no longer the Chatsfield wild child and all-round party girl but a young woman as revered by others around the world

Cara secretly thought that had been pushing it a bit but Harriet Harland genuinely believed in her and Cara would not let her down Especially after so many people had tried to distance themselves froreed to appear in last year Before the censorship board had pulled it, it had coone viral before then

Cara had thought that she would never get a decent job again after that Certainly that’s what her father had implied

Which brought her right back to why she couldn’t yet bask in the glow of her big win

She was late

Seriously late

Not entirely her fault because, really, who could have predicted that she’d get stuck on the tarmac at LAX for five hours due to an unexpected electrical stor over the city like a bad smell

And by the look of the tee rain outside she supposed she was lucky the plane had even landed in Vegas and not been rerouted to, say … Uzbekistan!
