The Past Never Stays Buried
In a world where Hollywood glamour, international intrigue, and dangerous liaisons collide, a secret so explosive it could alter the course of history lies hidden.
Through sheer chance, Italian criminal mastermind Giorgio The Cat Cattoretti learns of the existence of a priceless artifact--a lost lipstick, given by Frank Sinatra to Marilyn Monroe, engraved with a romantic inscription. With the potential to fetch up to $20 million at auction, Cattoretti becomes obsessed with finding it and turning it into an opportunity to increase his wealth and power.
But as an internationally wanted criminal, he knows he can't do it alone. He seeks the help of Secret Service agent Elaine Brogan, first with an attempt to bribe and then blackmail her, leveraging their checkered past against her. Elaine, resisting the scheme at every turn, is finally forced to succumb when her superiors decide it's in the Secret Service's best interest for her to cooperate.
Now, she finds herself in an uneasy alliance with a devious man she both respects and fears, navigating a treacherous world filled with ruthless collectors, cunning con men, and a secret powerful enough to destroy everything she holds dear. Amid the glittering intensity of the 'auction of the century, as the world's elite gather to vie for the prized artifact, the stakes-and the danger-soar.
Marilyn's Secret Lipstick is a pulse-pounding thriller that's classic Mike Wells-unputdownable from start to finish. It weaves together the glamour of old Hollywood, the tension of international espionage, and the underlying pull of forbidden romance. A must-read for fans of gripping suspense and high-octane adventure, this novel-like other books in the internationally bestselling Lust, Money & Murder series-will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you craving more.
