Hollywood Husbands, Hollywood
Sexy, successful, and shameless.
Three Hollywood hotshots who share a decades-long friendship based on competition, ambition, and accumulating power at any cost may soon find themselves enveloped in the heat of a burning revenge in this sexy, steamy Collins classic!
Jack Python may be the hottest talk show host in LA, but his road to fame was anything but easy. Abandoned as a boy by his mother who took off with his starlet sister to launch her career as Broadway darling Silver Anderson, Jack struggles with his fair share of demons that no money, charisma, or power can ever truly silence. His fame means he can have any woman he wants, including Oscar-winning actress Clarissa Browning, one of the hottest tickets in Hollywood.
But when his aging soap opera star sister comes back into his life, along with her lover, who may be involved in a potentially lethal scheme, it may be more than Jack can handle.
Meanwhile, movie star Mannon Cable is internationally adored for his good looks, killer bod, and self-depreciating charm, but few know how desperately he still pines after his ex-wife, Hollywood A-lister Whitney Valentine. Mannon never wanted Whitney on the screen, but studio mogul and third pal Howard Solomon had other plans for Whitney’s career—as well as his own designs on winning Whitney for himself. Enter supermodel Jade Johnson, strong independent, and dangerously beautiful. Jade’s in town to make a series of million-dollar TV commercials, but Hollywood fails to impress this jaded New Yorker. . . That is, until she encounters this trio of highly competitive friends in this exciting, fast-paced read you won’t want to put down!
Hollywood Wives, with its ten-million copy sales, and its spectacular success as a television miniseries, left Jackie Collins’ devoted audience hungry for the other side of the story. Hollywood Husbands delivers the goods!

"Collins's devotees will probably relish the snappy dialogue, whirlwind pacing, irreverent humor and opulent locales that are her trademarks." -- Publishers Weekly

Jackie Collins
There have been many imitators, but only ever one Jackie Collins!
The iconic author has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the late director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair magazine.
With over half a billion copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-one New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists.
From glamorous Beverly Hills bedrooms to Hollywood movie studios; from glittering rock concerts in London to the yachts of Russian billionaires, Jackie Collins chronicles the scandalous lives of the rich, famous and infamous from the inside looking out.
“I write about real people in disguise,” she once said. “If anything, my characters are toned down - the truth is much more bizarre!”
Born in in London, England, her first novel, The World is Full of Married Men established Collins as an author who dared to step where no other female writer had gone before. She followed it with one successful title after another, including The Stud and The Bitch, both adapted into films starring her actress sister, Joan Collins. Jackie found her stride when she published Chances, the first installment in a sprawling family saga introducing the strong, sexy and powerful Lucky Santangelo. Soon after came the seminal 80s blockbuster, Hollywood Wives which was adapted into one of ABCs highest rated mini-series. Jackie continued on a wild writing streak, satisfying her devoted readers with hit after hit, including Lady Boss, Hollywood Kids, Poor Little Bitch Girl and The Power Trip among many others. Jackie was a long time supporter of AIDS Project LA, HIV & AIDS research and equality for the LGBT community. She was widely known for writing characters who reflected a whole spectrum of society.
Jackie was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honor she said to the Queen, “Not bad for a school drop-out” - a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true!
In addition to her long and lustrous career, Jackie valued her family above all else, including her three daughters and six grandchildren. She wrote every one of her manuscripts by hand, as well as being widely known for her photographic skills, constantly documenting family, friends and her celebrity circle.
Jackie died of breast cancer on September 19th 2015, six years after being given a stage 4 diagnosis, which she chose to keep private until the final weeks of her life. During that time, she continued to write five more books and traveled the world on yearly book tours. In her last interview before her death, Jackie said "I want people to see me as an example of strength - and doing things my way...'"
Jackie Collins was a creative force, a mentor and trailblazer in fiction, and an inspiration to all who knew her, in addition to the millions of readers whose lives she enriched through her novels for decades.
A compelling documentary about Jackie's life and trailblazing career - Lady Boss-The Jackie Collins Story, produced by Academy Award Winning Passion Pictures, CNN Films, BBC Arts & AGC productions - will be released in 2021.
