MANY CULTURES - ONE WORLD With her exotic looks and killer body, Kennedy Lee is a rising star in the reality TV and soap opera worlds. Now she's really hit the big time and landed a role on the hugely popular daytime drama America's Next Sweetheart. As this great news coincides with Kennedy's birthday, her friends take her out for a wild night on the town. So wild, in fact, that the next morning Kennedy wakes up with a hard-bodied hunk in her bed, a vicious headache, and no recollection of how this gorgeous guy ended up beside her'naked. Not only that, but it's her first day at the new gig, and Page Six has already chronicled her previous night's exploits, calling her America's Next Lush. Now Kennedy must endure dirty looks on the set, abuse from the soap's bitchy diva, and the shocker that the guy who broke her five-year celibacy streak is none other than her co-star, Jesse James. As she battles catty actors, snarky production assistants, malicious gossip, and her growing appetite for food and sex, she struggles to fit in, find her true Prince Charming, and eat a slice of red velvet cake without any guilt. From the Trade Paperback edition.
