Getting Hers, Vol. 3

Tess McDonald is a high-priced madam running a lucrative call girl service, and whatever she wants is less than a phone call away.

Life can't get much better for Nikki Perez. She's young, beautiful, has one of the finest and most notorious men in the neighborhood in her bed, gets to ride in fast cars (before she strips them down), and is making more money than she ever dreamed of.

Kim Sheppard is at the pinnacle of corporate success. She is the envy of men and women alike, with a handsome husband, a beautiful home, and a secret lover on the side.

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. Fate truly intercedes when they meet in, of all places, their doctor's office. And from that day forward, they form a unique alliance. Not only will they bond together to reclaim what they've lost, but in each other, they'll discover what they'd been searching for all along.

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

Publishers Weekly

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) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
