New York: Avon Publishing Co., Inc, 1948. Reprint. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. 6x4x0. Pages toned, ink date stamp on half-title page, spine faintly creased, pencil name on title page. 1948 Mass Market Paperback. 120, [6] pp. A starlet comes to Reno to start a new life -- and end her old one forever. Sylvia Shoreham's Hollywood dreams came true long ago. Critically beloved for her beauty, talent, and style, she was on her way to international stardom when a bad contract committed her to seven years of trashy comedies and half-baked melodramas. Her marriage to her producer husband has become a rotten, loveless sham, so Sylvia's silver screen life verges on a nightmare. To escape her celluloid hell, sheâ€™s got only one option: Forget Hollywood. It's time for a Reno vacation. She comes to Nevada hoping for a divorce from her husband, Vicki, and an end to her contract, but the ugly side of the business follows her. To protect herself from Vicki, she enlists Nevada's biggest Sylvia Shoreham fan. He's six feet tall, strong as a mule, and just happens to be Reno's sheriff. When her divorce turns into a war, this Hollywood icon will be glad to have him on her side.
