Dangerous Machinations Matthew Francis

Lady McPherson is in a quandary. On the surface, it seems she has the perfect Beverly Hills lifestyle -- a successful psychiatric practice, three adorable and adorably precocious children; and a husband, the renowned Dr. Noah Steinman, who has just received tenure as a professor of biochemistry at UCLA. Her best friend, Ashleigh, is the 'glamazon' behind Ash by Ashleigh, a cosmetic line poised to take over the world; and a gala she is about to host at the Getty is proving to be the Party of the Year, at least according to TMZ. Lady should be on top of the world, so she why does she feel so...unsatisfied? And why is she filled with dread at the mere mention of Naomi Wasserman, the recently returned and dangerously mysterious Malibu bombshell with the prosthetic leg?Dangerous Machinations launches an unforgettable and utterly epic series of novels that detail the adventures (and misadventures) of Lady McPherson and an international cast of glamorous Beverly Hills housewives, English aristocrats, failed hedge fund managers, a team of lethally beautiful Russian assassins hell-bent on taking over the world, and the secret government agents tasked with the thankless responsibility of salvaging order from chaos. Dangerous Machinations is unlike anything you have ever read before...and unlike anything you will ever read again -- sexy, indulgent, a little bit satiric and and a little bit dangerous. Welcome to a world where the women truly have the upper hand and absolutely nothing is taboo. Prepare to be seduced.
