Jackie Collins, who has penned many fictional stories dealing in crime, deceit, adultery, etc; is back with Married Lovers - a book on the same lines. Set in the chic locales of Hollywood, Married Lovers talks of the inside lives of 3 celebrity couples, entangled in their own problems, until an incident changes their lives forever...
24-year old Cameron Paradise is a victim of domestic violence. Her husband, Gregged Kingston, the only man Cameron fell in love with, has turned into an eternally drunk, obsessive lover, never wanting Cameron to mingle with others in their Hawaiian home-town. Having enough of his insanity, Cameron flees to Los Angles, to become one of the most elusive and best fitness trainers in town. Young and beautiful with never-say-die attitude, Cameron steadily makes it to the top, though silently harbouring a dream to own a fitness studio in LA.
Don Verona, the perfect Casanova, suave, rich and handsome late-night talk show host, hires Cameron as his private fitness instructor and falls for her at the first right itself, with a history of two unsuccessful marriages in the past. But Cameron does not mix business with pleasure and is a hard one to get.
Don's best friend, Ryan Richards' marriage to Mandy Heckerling is on the rocks. Ryan is equally handsome and is more into making sensible movies than hooking up with girls. Mandy is never able to produce children and that keeps the couple bickering all the time. In reality, Mandy is a bitchy elite socialite, with least botheration for home and family.
Their common friend Phil Standard is an Oscar-Winning scriptwriter, one of the rarest kind in tinsel town. He has eyes for all other woman in LA except for his former-actress wife Lucy Lyons. Lucy knows her husband too well, but with two pubescent children, she gives up on the idea of divorcing him. Her main motive though, is a comeback in movies, which would not be possible without her dearest husband - Phil.
As the book progresses, the Standards are throwing a party for this bunch of close friends, with Don and Cameron, to celebrate Lucy's comeback on celluloid. The party turns out to cd a nightmare, when Cameron's past haunts her present and one of the guest is shot dead at the party.
