About This Book

Four smart women . . . and their foolish choice. In love with the same man. The wrong man.
 
Women found him so easy to love. Clay Bowen had it all—charisma, good looks, and power in the glamorous world of television. Laura, the delicate dancer, gave up her dazzling career to marry him and have his child. Nina excelled at everything—except capturing her father's complete attention. Bambi, his ruthless young "assistant," thought she was using him. And Susan, a brilliant writer, couldn't bear to think their twenty-year bicoastal romance was too good to be true.
 
In her most riveting novel since The Best of Everything, Rona Jaffe weaves a compelling story of passion and obsession. Moving from the glittering capitals of the world and the epicenter of the TV and movie industries to the darkest depths of the human heart, she holds her readers captive to the very last page.
