      From the #1 bestselling author of The Secret Wife comes a story of love, passion, and tragedy as the lives of Jackie Kennedy and Maria Callas are intertwined--and they become the ultimate rivals, in love with the same man. The President's Wife; a Glamorous Superstar; the rivalry that shook the world... Jackie Kennedy was beautiful, sophisticated, and contemplating leaving her ambitious young senator husband. Life in the public eye with an overly ambitious--and unfaithful--man who could hardly be coaxed to return from a vacation after the birth of a stillborn child was breaking her spirit. So when she's offered a holiday on the luxurious yacht owned by billionaire Ari Onassis, she says yes...to a meeting that will ultimately change her life. Maria Callas is at the height of her operatic career and widely considered to be the finest soprano in the world. And then she's introduced to Aristotle Onassis, the world's richest man and her fellow Greek. Stuck in a childless, sexless marriage, and with pressures on all sides from opera house managers and a hostile press, she finds her life being turned upside down by this hyper-intelligent and impeccably charming man... Little by little, Maria's and Jackie's lives begin to overlap, and they come closer and closer until everything they know about the world changes on a dime.

Both self-made millionaires, they transformed the beauty industry during a time when societal expectations confined women to the roles of wives and mothers. Arden, hailing from a modest Canadian background, revolutionized beauty standards by encouraging women across various social strata to embrace skincare products that promised youth. Meanwhile, Rubinstein, who emigrated from Poland, built her empire on scientific claims about her innovative anti-aging creams. Their fierce competition led to a relentless feud that spanned continents, two world wars, and the Great Depression. Tactics included poaching employees, copying products, and employing spies, all while navigating personal sacrifices. The story vividly portrays two bold women, each fiercely determined to succeed, as they embody ambition and resilience in their pursuit of the American dream.
