Mistress of Sin

de Robert Silverberg

Kevin Lyle, 38, is “story editor” for movie mogul Leo Naumann, a formerly European filmmaker who is now a Hollywood blockbuster maker. Lyle used to be a freelance scriptwriter, but he makes more money by finding properties for Naumann: he books and recommends some for option. Lyle is in the middle of a difficult divorce and custody battle with his ex-wife, and has picked up a stripper and aspiring actress named Lorayne Winnant. He takes her home, discovers she is a sexual sadist, and later introduces her to Naumann, who dumps his current girlfriend and leading lady to bed and cast Lorayne. Naumann's ex-girlfriend shows up at Lyle's hotel room, confronts him, and commits suicide by jumping off his balcony. Meanwhile, Lorayne is having second thoughts about being Naumann’s mistress, now that she sees it is a temporary position. She decides she is really in love with Lyle and leaves Naumann for him. Naumann fires Lyle, who now has to start over, supporting his wife and family...and Lorayne. A damn fine little novel, high recommended
