Synopsis

Sasha Miller arrives at Cambridge University with a single goal: to earn a place among the great scientists of her time. But that dream comes crashing down when the naïve student is seduced by her womanizing professor, Theo Dexter. She trusted him with her heart―and with the brilliant original theory that would jump-start her career. Now Theo is claiming her work as his own, and a devastated Sasha vows revenge.

Eight years later, the newly rich and famous Theo Dexter is the darling of the American media and every woman’s fantasy. Every woman except one. Now head of a successful business empire, Sasha has spent years laying the groundwork for the payback Theo so richly deserves. But if she’s going to do this thing right, she can’t do it alone. She’ll need the help of the only other woman who knows the ugly truth hidden behind Theo’s handsome façade: his spurned ex-wife Theresa. Together, the pair will concoct a plan for revenge so spectacular it will make every man think twice.

Reviews

As a naive yet brilliant Cambridge University student, Sasha Miller fell under the thrall of her magnetic physics master, Professor Theo Dexter, who seduced her and stole her groundbreaking theory. Devastated, Sasha leaves Cambridge and science behind for Harvard Business School, while Dexter trades on the stolen theory to become a famous talk-show host. Years later, Dexter and his long-suffering wife, Theresa, are in Hollywood where Dexter’s Universe has earned him, somewhat dubiously, fame, fortune, and plenty of female attention, including that of an up-and-coming starlet. Meanwhile, though Sasha is a top executive at a Manhattan real estate firm, she’s still consumed with exposing Theo’s fraud while also entangled in a rivalry with the hotshot, womanizing executive who hired her, Jackson Dupree. Bagshawe doesn’t stray from her preferred and popular formula: a strong, beautiful woman who needs love to blossom finds the flawed but ultimately reformed Lothario to provide it. --Aleksandra Walker
