From Goodreads:
It was the
tumultuous romance that scandalized the world: Frank Sinatra and Ava
Gardner fought, loved, and lived life to the hilt. Now their
unbridled story is brought vividly to life by Heather Webb, the
bestselling author of Meet Me in Monaco and
The Next Ship Home.
In the
golden age of Hollywood, two of the brightest stars would define--and
defy--an era...
She was the small-town southern beauty
transformed into a Hollywood love goddess. He was the legendary
crooner whose voice transfixed the world. They were Ava Gardner and
Frank Sinatra. Separately they were irresistible; together they were
an explosive combination.
Ava's star is rising just as
Frank's career--and public image as a family man--is taking a hit.
Gone are the days of the screaming bobbysoxers and chart-topping
hits. Ava, however, finds herself gracing the front page of every
tabloid in America. Jealousy and cheating abound, and when the two
succumb to their temperaments and their vices, their happiness is
threatened at every turn.
As the pair ride the
rollercoaster of success and failure, passion and anger, they both
wonder if the next turn will be the end of their careers, and most
devastating of all--the end of all they've shared.
A
captivating novel with a star-studded cast spanning continents and
decades, Strangers in the Night brings to life the most
riveting love story of the twentieth century.
I have loved Heather Webb’s collaborations with Hazel Gaynor, so I am excited to read her newest solo effort!
