# Man's Best Friend - Hardcover

by **Alana B. Lytle** (Author)

**A failed actress must decide how much she will give up--and what lies she will overlook--in order to live a life of luxury, in this irresistibly suspenseful and slightly surreal debut that is _The Talented Mr. Ripley_ meets _Nightbitch._**

Ever since her year as a scholarship student among the ultra-wealthy at a Manhattan private school, El knows what it is like to feel rich--to feel chosen. And being _not_ chosen is her current living nightmare: at age thirty, she has given up her dream of becoming a famous actress, she has no passions, no great love, nothing to look forward to.

Then El meets a mysterious trust-fund Cambridge grad who holds the keys to the world she has long dreamed of. Bryce may not be particularly good-looking, charming, or interesting, but he has chosen her. El allows herself to be lulled by the ease and safety that his wealth provides, becoming Bryce's little pet, and giving up her job, friends, and apartment in short order. But when a series of disturbing and slightly surreal events reveal that Bryce is not quite what he seems, but something entirely more sinister, El must face the consequences when his darkness--and her own--are unleashed.
