From the dust jacket: "...a compelling novel of three friends, sophisticated Los Angeles women with busy, purposeful lives, who also live on the fast track of romance and sex-because, like lonely women everywhere, they hunger for a man to love.
That fast track can be dangerous.
Cassie-A dedicated gynecologist, she spends her days in the company of females...and her nights alone, haunted by betrayal and words no wife should ever hear: 'I'm in love with another woman.'
Eve-Thrice married, a driving, successful real estate broker, she gets a great charge out of making multimillion-dollar deals. But her most urgent passion is for hunting prospective husbands.
Nona- She sells elegant clothes in an upscale boutique, dreams Norman Rockwell dreams of home, hearth, and babies, and is so drop-dead beautiful that every man she meets lusts after her. But an angushed secret in her past keeps her chronically choosing men who are incapable of love.
At the end of the day they meet...in upscale bars and restaurants on the Strip, the Marina, off Venice Beach-places full of single women who, beneath their veneer of style and accomplishment, want at any cost not to go home alone. When each of the friends does meet a man, how can she truly know what she means to him? Cassie's Jake, the handsome Vietnam veteran, has too many demons to fight. The Johnny whom Eve meets again after a long hiatus is now Johnny, the reformed addict, so changed he hardly seems the same person. It is Nona, after being gullible prey yet again to a married man, who seems to have discovered Mr. Right. Or did he discover her-on purpose?"
