But the last few men Veron has been with have either added her to their five-woman rotation or relegated her to the dreaded &amp;#8220;just friends&amp;#8221; zone.After one particularly bad date, Veron caves in and asks her best friend, Demetria Sparks, to share her secrets. Demetria is a gorgeous woman who has something special&amp;#8211;men line up to paint her toenails and lavish her with Caribbean cruises and diamond rings. Demetria tries to give Veron a mind-and-body makeover, but sweet Veron struggles with being aggressive. And when Demetria demonstrates her method on Veron&amp;#8217;s dream guy, Seaphes, his lack of interest provokes her to pull out all the stops&amp;#8211;and forces Veron into a fierce competition between mentor and student. With pressure (and sexual tension) mounting, Veron begins to wonder if changing herself is a mistake. But is it too late to back off her new game now that she&amp;#8217;s gotten a juicy taste of just what she&amp;#8217;s capable of?</description>
