"Chocolate stars are African-American twenty-somethings in pursuit of celebrity. Restless, edgy, with starlight all their own, they are passsionate about trading their humble beginnings for outrageous success. The backdrop is the entertainment world; the goal, fame and fortune; the challenge, balancing material achievement with values and faith." "Topaz Black, a gorgeous model-turned-singer, fights her way into enormous wealth and popularity only to discover that the things that matter to her most have been left behind." "Gunther Lawrence, a fabulously talented film director, rockets from South Central L.A. to an enormous mansion in Hollywood and his own production company, but his scorn of his origins and his need to differentiate himself prevent him from reaping the most precious rewards." "Sean "Sylk" Ross, a college basketball hero, hooks his star to the pros, struggling to stay grounded while dealing with the lure of big-dollar contracts and celebrity status." "As they make their way into the exclusive club of the extremely rich and famous, their lives intersect. Drug addiction, divorce, tragic death, and love help them come to realize that even fairy tales can turn into nightmares if they do not keep their feet firmly planted."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

He played the wrong game.
The song of preacher, college basketball star Sean "Sylk" Ross prayed that God would get him in the NBA, until he started playing games of love and power. Then the way to fame was leading him toward a mistake that could send him straight to hell...

She never looked back.
Lies, drugs, too many men-- golden skinned singer Topaz Black would do anything to get a hit to the top of the charts, even walk away from her friends and family. But surrounded by greed and lust, the love the longed for seemed to be slipping away forever.

He broke all the rules.
Brought up in South Central L.A., movie producer Gunther Lawrence learned early how to get the wealth and women he wanted-- and to turn his back on his roots. Now, blinded by Hollywood's glitter, his illusions may shatter when he discovers who really controls his career.

As their lives touch, ignite, and explode, three talented African-Americans pursue fame at any cost...and the price may be their happiness...or their lives..
