Diana, a sharp-tongued, fiercely independent makeup artist in her early 30s, has spent years perfecting her craft behind the scenes of Hollywood's most chaotic sets. She's used to the egos, the last-minute calls, and the endless parade of celebrities - none of whom ever get under her skin.
Until one October night in 2007.
Dragged to Tommy Lee's birthday party by her best friend Athena (Tommy's sister), Diana unexpectedly finds herself drawn into a slow-burning, electric conversation with none other than Nikki Sixx - rockstar, recovering addict, and chaos incarnate in leather. Their connection is real, raw, and unplanned... but before anything can come of it, she slips out of the party without giving him her number, convinced that walking away is the smart move.
Days later, just when Diana thinks she's shaken him from her mind, fate throws her a curveball: her manager books her to do Mötley Crüe's makeup for their Saints of Los Angeles album cover shoot. Now, Diana's back in Nikki's orbit - brushes in hand, sarcasm at the ready - and trying desperately to pretend their night together didn't mean more than either of them said out loud.
But Nikki remembers.
And Diana? She's about to learn that some connections don't fade... no matter how much you try to stay cool.
