Mainstream actress-turned-adult superstar Maitland Ward is already building buzz ahead of the July 5, 2022 launch of her racy memoir, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood, with the long-awaited official release of her book cover.

The beguiling cover image of the Simon & Schuster title, which chronicles the star’s journey from child model to soap actress to TV sitcom teen queen to adult film goddess, features a fresh-scrubbed Ward wearing a mischievous expression, white towel, and not much else.

“I’m so excited about my book cover reveal and sharing my memoir with the world!” said Ward. “I can’t wait for everyone to read my fun and juicy stories in my career. I hold nothing back. All the behind the scenes info and salacious tales are here and my personal story is raw and untethered and completely exposed.”

Rated X How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood will begin its official pre-sale campaign on January 15, and fans can expect to get their hands on the first of some VERY spicy excerpts from the book sometime in March.
