BETWEEN THE COVERS
The Langham, in the heart of London, is one the most famous hotels in the world. A-list stars, such as Lady Gaga, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie, often stay in its grand suites, so we couldn't think of a better photoshoot location for the talent agent-turned-author Melanie Blake.
Melanie scored a surprise global hit last year with her second novel, Ruthless Women, which sold more than 250,000 copies worldwide and was translated into seven languages. So to celebrate the publication of its sequel, Guilty Women, which is expected to be even bigger, we caught up with Melanie.
Melanie's last novel, Ruthless Women, was a global hit
As she poses in faux fur and real diamonds, it's hard to believe Melanie's spent 20 years of her career behind the scenes. But like the famous faces she has represented as a talent agent, Melanie perfects every pose like a professional. And after finally stopping for a mimosa - even though it's only 11am - she's ready to reveal the secrets of her new page-turner.
Melanie, your arrival on the scene as a best-selling author has certainly created a lot of headlines...
Are you calling me a stirrer [laughs]?
Well, you're not exactly shy in speaking your mind and have been in a social media spat...
One social media spat, only one. But I will own up to saying "guess how many bitches there are on TV" because there are loads!
Are you able to tell us who?
