BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR . . . Set in the highest ranks
of the music industry's fame machine, Diamond Life is an
intoxicating story of love, sex, ambition, money, betrayal,
and the surprising realities of making it big. Alex
Maxwell's career as a journalist and celebrity ghost writer
is taking off, despite the slightly embarrassing authorship
of hip-hop super-groupie Cleo Wright's memoir. And while
Alex's star is on the rise, it pales in comparison to her
husband Birdie's multiplatinum debut and world tour. Slowly
but surely, everything they swore would never happen begins
to come true, like leaving Brooklyn for a mansion in
suburban Jersey and letting a reality TV crew into their
home. Birdie is confronted time and again by the sexy
groupies who pursue famous rappers like heat-seeking
missiles and he's forced to make some life-changing choices.
Meanwhile, aging rapper Z, in recovery from drug addiction,
is too busy trying to repair his marriage to leave much time
for his son Zander, newly signed to Z's label and struggling
to maintain his appeal in the wake of a domestic violence
scandal with his diva girlfriend Bunny. Record label
president Jake is trying to deal with the death of his wife,
multiplatinum R&B artist Kipenzi Hill, by drowning his
sorrows in alcohol and women. When he meets Lily, a
beautiful, quiet waitress, he can't get her out of his head.
But Lily has her own problems to handle and she wants
nothing to do with the fame, drama, and baggage that Jake
carries with him. This juicy follow-up to Aliya S. King's
Platinum is a scintillating roman à clef that takes readers
behind the curtain once again for the real scoop on the
biggest players in the hip-hop game—and the first ladies who
hold them together.
