During her tenure, the notorious Dr. Jacyln N. Andrews, professor of literature at a prestigious university, wrapped her web of sensuality and intellect around three young women. Since their interaction with the professor, all three have landed prestigious jobs. Lucinda Popsine spent years at a top publishing house in New York and now owns her own exclusive publishing company. Marissa Templeton is a Hollywood producer and filmmaker, and Shirley Carpenter is a legendary singer. The troika of American mass communication finally meet and discover that in addition to a shared alma mater, their connection extends to a teacher they've tried to forget for nearly thirty years-Dr. Andrews. Unbeknownst to any of the leading ladies, their past secrets did not follow their disgraced professor to the grave.
Breaking a twenty-year silence, Veronica Gardner, the daughter of Dr. Andrews, forces the three to face their past. Few matters are more integral to the life of a mogul than a sterling reputation, and Lucinda, Marissa, and Shirley soon realize that a single woman can destroy their profitable livelihoods. Only the most desperate and wholehearted effort will prevent their adoring fan bases from learning the dissatisfying truth: all, in one form or another, owe their successes to Dr. Andrews.
