Publisher Description
A fearless and spirited pilot conquers Hollywood. Now can she survive movie stardom?
In 1945 Velva Jean Hart is a bona fide war heroine. After a newsreel film of her triumphant return to America, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer promises to make her a star. They give her a new life story and a brand-new name. As "Kit Rogers," she navigates the movie sets, recording sessions, parties, staged romances, and occasional backstabbing that accompany her newfound fame. She also navigates real-life romance, finding herself caught between a charismatic young writer and a sexy and enigmatic musician from her past. But when one of her best friends dies mysteriously and the most powerful studio in the world launches a cover-up, Velva Jean goes in search of the truth—risking her own life, as well as her heart, in the process.
Set during Hollywood's golden age and peopled with a cast of unforgettable characters, American Blonde will mesmerize readers of The Chaperone as well as fans of the Velva Jean series.

“Jennifer Niven is a stunning talent. Like Elmore Leonard,she’s such a sneaky good writer that you might not notice what she’s up to. Onone level, American Blonde is a crackling thriller that will keepyou up all night until the pieces of the plot come together. At the same time,it’s an elegantly written, impressively researched novel that makes idealism,heroism, and a romantic era come to life. Either way, it’s a total knockout.”
— Jonathan Eig, New York Times bestselling author
