Beautiful People

Deliciously dark and decadent… The uber rich behaving badly at a fabulously over-the-top wedding, overshadowed by toxic secrets from the past' When Victoria escapes her broken home for university in London, she is determined to reinvent herself and make a fresh start. She falls in love with Nick, who welcomes her into his privileged circle of friends, opening her eyes to a world she only ever dreamt of. But then life takes a darker turn. Twenty-five years later, the circle is reunited alongside a host of glittering guests to celebrate the wedding of Hollywood darling Ingrid Olsson to ruthlessly well-connected Julian Draper. Victoria has spent years trying to forget Nick and put the horror of what happened behind her. Now she has to face the past she tried so hard to bury. As the champagne flows and painful memories resurface, Victoria can't shake the feeling that some people seem to get away with everything. But maybe not this time.
