Praise

“Even Jacqueline Susann would be shocked! Incendiary and captivating, J.J. Salem has found a literary voice that is one part Valley of the Dolls, one part Sex and the City, and one part pure grit. Tan Lines engages you with complex issues of femininity, sex, and control embodied by three strong female characters who ultimately yearn for freedom.”
–Barbara Seaman, Author of Lovely Me: The Life of Jacqueline Susann

“WARNING: J.J. Salem's Tan Lines burns on every page. With a scorching mix of scandal, sex, and murder, this deliciously bitchy beach read really brings the heat.”
–Lisa Jackson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fatal Burn and Shiver

“A really great beach read! I loved it!”
–Jackie Collins

"Sexy beach trash of the highest order." -ELLE (UK)

“Summer’s hot read will be this sexed-up novel… Smut from the gut…” –Cindy Adams, “Page Six” New York Post

“A Jacqueline Susann-style thriller by way of Candace Bushnell, Salem’s scorching debut… throbs with intensity, spiked with erotic detail” –Publishers Weekly (July)

Excerpt

Prologue
Page Six sizzled with hot items about a grisly murder, a premature birth, and a public meltdown.

Faye Hudson of North Bay Lane in East Hampton devoured the main gossip headlines, amazed that all of them involved the three girls who signed last year’s summer share lease on the very property she called home nine months of the year.

Liza Pike, Kellyanne Downey, and Billie Shelton.
