Tobias a Josephine sú deti prisťahovalcov a ako stovky ďalších očakávajú, že najideálnejším miestom v Amerike, kde sa človeku splnia všetky túžby, je Hollywood. Prirodzene, aj ich kroky vedú do Kalifornie. No prichádzajú sem už ako Toby a Jill. Zatiaľ čo Jill sem dohnala nešťastná láska, Toby odmalička sníval o tom, že sa stane slávnym komikom. Keď zistí, že talent nie je jediný predpoklad úspechu a rovnako dobre treba hrať na javisku i v živote, jeho hviezda začína stúpať. Závratná kariéra, sláva ani peniaze ho však nevyliečia zo samoty, nedôverčivosti a strachu, ktorý prežíva hlboko v duši. Jill na tom nie je lepšie. Okrem hrozného tajomstva, čo v sebe nosí, sa nevie zmieriť so zistením, že za všetko musí platiť vlastným telom. Napokon sa ich cesty stretnú a nezáväzný flirt sa premení na vášnivú lásku, ktorá im pomáha prekonať chvíle, keď sa rozhoduje o živote a smrti. Ani jeden z nich však netuší, že stačí len krôčik, spoločné šťastie sa zrúti ako domček z karát a vystrieda ho nenávisť.

The story of this steamy novel centers on an amoral young Italian aristocrat with a penchant for violence who owes his extravagant lifestyle to the favors of a mafia overlord. So when he is asked to silence four witnesses due to testify against the mob, the aristocrat is more than happy to comply in a most brutal manner. Only he did not figure on a special agent -- one who helped build the mountain of evidence against the organization -- entering into a lethal game of cat-and-mouse with him. And the special agent is the only one who realizes that it is not loyalty, or honor, or debt that drive the young man to murder -- but the thrill of the kill!
