Publisher Comments:

Tess McDonald is running the show and whatever she wants is less than a phone call away; Nikki Howard has what she thinks is the greatest job in the world because she gets to ride fast cars and carry a gun; Kim Sheppard is at the pinnacle of corporate success, the envy of men and women alike.

Then Tess loses her business and everything she's worked for, Nikki is convicted of a crime she didn't commit and Kim is accused of corporate theft, potentially at risk of losing her fortune and her reputation. Then fate truly intercedes when they meet in of all places, their doctor's office. And from that day forward a unique alliance is formed. Not only will they bond together to reclaim what they've lost, but in each other discover what they'd been searching for all along.

Review:

"Three unlikely accomplices — all members of the men-are-dogs club — join forces to right the wrongs they've suffered in Hill's latest (Divas, Inc., etc.), a page-turning tale of murder, intrigue and revenge. On their way out of their gynecologist's reception room, diverse but equally glamorous strangers Nikki Perez, Kim Sheppard-Benning and Tess McDonald are trapped for hours in the elevator during a blackout. Nikki, a Latina ex-con who took the fall for a callous but irresistible boyfriend; Kim, a wealthy, WASPy entrepreneur whose husband threatens to disclose a secret that will ruin her career; and Tess, an African-American high-class madam on the run from the law, join together in sisterly solidarity after trading stories of the betrayals they've survived. The trio forms an alliance and toasts to 'getting what's ours... success... [and] retribution,' at whatever cost. With its zippy dialogue, ruthless yet vulnerable women and quickly escalating plot, this romp offers satisfying fantasy. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

A sexy and dramatic tale of friendship and revenge with an urban twist from bestselling author Donna Hill.
