Summer's Blonde Booty

Summer Sellars, named by her father for the season in which she was born, falls in love with Daddy. He is Wade Sellars, Broadway's most controversial producer and Hollywood's ballsiest mover and shaker. He loves all women and every risky project. Summer, scarcely more than a toddler when she loses her mother to suicide, demands more of her father's time and attention than he can (or wants) to give. He installs her in New England's best boarding school; the weekends are their time together. By his side or on his lap, Summer decides that he's the most fascinating man alive. She wants nothing more than to come of age and spend the rest of her life in his world. At 20, she does just that, but finds his world much different from what she had experienced as a child. She learns that she must compete with many others who want a piece of the great man; his is a world populated by many strange and scary people such as Beth Rogers Stainton, arguably the world's richest woman; Stephen, Beth's handsome young cousin, the man everyone believes will marry Summer; Hana, a world-famous actor whose sudden retirement and reclusive lifestyle fascinate the jet set; Rikia Saddy, still in her 20s, the "boss lady" of a hugely popular magazine, and a woman whose private life would disappoint her readers; and Colton Thomas, an aging, bestselling writer who hits hard but writes with tenderness. It is in this world that beautiful but naive Summer moves in her search for love...and it is love, more than anything else, that is at the heart of Beautiful Blonde.
