Upon My Demise

Love her or hate her, the incomparable Yancey Harrington Braxton is back. The ambitious singer, actress, and diva supreme, whose romance with retired NFL tight end (and secret bisexual) John Basil Henderson was “packed with more drama than a hurricane at a Fourth of July picnic” (USA Today), will do whatever it takes to get the spotlight back on her. After a series of professional and personal setbacks, Yancey’s ready to prove that she’s got more dazzle and talent than ever. She’s set her sights on starring in her own reality series—and she’s even found a rich and well-connected lover who can make it happen. The only obstacle to Yancey’s comeback is Ava, her competitive mother whose stint in prison for attempted murder has not curbed her own ambitions one bit.

As Yancey pursues her dreams for wealth and fame, the appearance of a new—and younger—bombshell changes everything. Her name is Madison B. and she’s the hottest actress/singer in the music industry thanks to the popular show American Star. Madison also happens to be the newly rich daughter Yancey gave up long ago. And Madison is not the only person from her past making Yancey’s road to success more exciting and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
