Frances Girard is a young editor at a publishing house--attractive, respected . . . and undeniably bored. Tired of hearing everyone else's fascinating story, Frances longs to star in her own. So when she meets the brazen, renegade avant-garde theater director Paul Treat, Frances unwittingly jumps at the chance to break away from the cozy decorum of her class and career.

Life with Paul is different from anything Frances has ever experienced. Unlike the civilized literati that comprise her circle, Paul is all action--unpredictable and wildly brilliant. Suddenly her humdrum life is swept away by the bohemian whirlwind of Paul's world. But how long can Frances sustain this vicarious connection? The answer becomes shockingly clear one hilarious evening when the topic of conversation turns to group sex. For after that night, this unlikely pair embark upon an uproarious ride that will change their lives forever.
