"Flawless" garners praise from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Melissa Foster, who states: "Moran creates a captivating world of glamour, romance, and intrigue. A breathtakingly real look at the cut-throat world of the beauty industry. An engrossing view into the world of 'beautiful people' with an ending that will leave you wanting more."
Author Jan Moran adds: "In the Hostile Beauty series, readers follow a group of smart, stylish, entrepreneurial friends as they navigate the turbulences of modern life in the business of beauty. Set in Beverly Hills with action flung across the globe, the Hostile Beauty series is an engaging series that features gutsy, determined best friends, and how they manage to live the lives of their dreams." "Flawless" is the first novel in the series, and is also a stand-alone book.
"Flawless" tells the story of Verena Valent, a young woman at the helm of her family's legendary Swiss skincare company, which caters to a glamorous clientele in the heart of Beverly Hills.
