(BEVERLY HILLS, CA) -- Phoenix Books is proud to present the memoir of Natalia, one of the most famous escorts in history and author of The Price: My Rise and Fall as Natalia, New York’s #1 Escort. In 2005, McLennan made worldwide headlines when she graced the cover of New York magazine in a riveting story entitled ''N.Y.’s #1 Escort Reveals All.''

She became an overnight sensation as national and international news outlets flocked to interview the $2000-an-hour escort about her infamous life and career.

As the months went by, the clients got more and more exclusive, and the piles of cash grew larger and larger. Everything Jason had envisioned was coming to fruition. It was eerie. There was an almost magical sense to everything that was happening. Our drug-fueled, 3:00 a.m. fantasies were actually coming true.

The Price details McLennan’s intimate experiences from her exposure to the New York high life, to her hardcore drug addiction and personal and professional relationship with Ashley Alexandra Dupré. McLennan and her boyfriend, New York Confidential owner Jason Itzler, introduced the young, aspiring singer to the country’s most influential high rollers and a decadent world filled with sex, money, and thrills.

Just this year, Ashley Dupré’s fame exploded when she was caught with New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, a scandal that led to the ''straight-arrow'' politician’s public humiliation and eventual resignation.

The Price reads like a convoluted love story between one of New York’s highest- paid escorts and her boss, the self-anointed ''King of all Pimps.'' However, Jason Izler’s desire to turn his East Coast brothel into a Playboy-style national empire and take Natalie as his wife spiraled downhill when their undercover business received too much unwanted attention, prompting the police to arrest McLennan and charge her with money laundering, prostitution, and promoting prostitution.

A cautionary tale about a bright, confident young woman who sells her future for easy money and glamour, the Price is the first book to depict the exclusive world of high-end escorting. In this sexy, darkly funny and surprisingly poignant memoir, McLennan introduces readers to a remarkable true story of sex, greed, ambition, and, ultimately, redemption.
