Wild Fire (Wild State)
““I think…I think I have to give up on him.” It hurt to admit, but Sadie Bower had failed.
Sadie wasn’t used to failing at anything. When she’d told her parents she wasn’t going to the London School of Economics like her older brother Kai, but instead the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, she had assured them that she would succeed as an actress. From the moment she’d aced her first professional audition—unfortunately for a Beckett play, but beggars couldn’t be choosers—her promise had held true.
T...wo years ago, Sadie had received her first Oscar nomination. Failure wasn’t even on her radar these days.
But when it came to Ryan Young, she was nothing but a seething mass of fails. And it was time to move on. “It’s silly for me to keep hoping he’ll change his mind.”
“Did something happen?” Fiona O’Brien brushed shimmering highlight powder over Sadie’s pale cheeks before stepping back to examine her handiwork. Sadie had met the makeup artist working on a film earlier this year—the premiere for which both women were attending in a couple of hours—and, since wrapping Vendetta in early July, had struck up a fledgling friendship with the brunette. Which was why Fiona was now in Sadie’s spacious three-story home, built along one of the coveted Venice canals, helping her with her hair and makeup prior to the premiere.MoreLess
