The New Rakes (Black Lace)

The New Rakes are known for the hot, dirty electro music they play in basement gigs all over the city, but lead singer Kara has ambitions beyond underground success. Fueled by her sexy performances and a love/hate relationship with her guitarist, Tam, the band is poised on the brink of stardom. And when Mike Greene, the charismatic head of a record company, offers the New Rakes a deal, it seems all their hopes are about to be realized. But Kara and Mike have history—and this time he wants more than a professional relationship. Kara is seduced by his glamorous promises; and despite the attempts of his manipulative ex-girlfriend, she becomes Mike's lover. As she gets tangled in a web of sex, power, and deceit, Kara learns the hard way what success really means. In the end, she may have to choose between the limelight and true love.
