Professor Glenna Rose struggles with insecurity as she approaches forty. Having a "secret" engagement party at a male strip club probably wasn't a good idea.

Then again, getting engaged to her department chairman maybe wasn't such a great idea either. Glenna's stodgy fiancé can't hold a candle to the sizzling dancer named Dillinger, who not only sparks Glenna's shameless interest but also returns it. Her situation becomes even stickier when she takes on a younger colleague as a confidant. Matthew Beaumont, eccentric writer, has his own unique and persuasive appeal.

Soon Glenna finds herself engaged to one man, in lust with another, and increasingly close friends with a third. They all have strong plusses…coupled with disturbing minuses. Worse yet, her conundrum could put her job in jeopardy at conservative Stockton College. Avoiding a scandal while she strives to find a satisfying resolution to her dilemma will prove the biggest challenge of her life.

And the most stunning.
