Crazy in Love - Synopsis
Heiress and celebrity Birdie Sederburg has been used to getting everything she wants. That is, until hot young actor Dean Stevenson (quite literally) crashes into her life. Birdie's convinced she's found The One. But Dean is only in it for his career, and is resisting her charm offensive. Still, Birdie is not prepared to admit defeat. As her obsession with Dean grows, she realises she may have to do something drastic to make him fall in love with her. But is getting herself kidnapped in order to win his heart as insane as it sounds? How far would you go for love?
Inspiration for Crazy In Love
I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Los Angeles over the past fifteen years. There’s no place on earth quite like it. So I decided to write a book about the craziness of life there, where ridiculously conspicuous consumption comes up against radical environmentalism. Quite often in the same person.
