Mary Castillo follows an aspiring filmmaker on the Hollywood party scene, where she's seduced by a director. Caridad Pineiro takes readers to Miami's^BSouth Beach, where a group of gal pals help their best friend celebrate her thirtieth^Bbirthday. Next stop is Chicago, where Berta Platas portrays a former wallflower who finds that sparks can fly at her high-school reunion. Sofia Quintero's novella is set in New York, where a group of college roommates are reunited for a bachelorette party. All four writers spice up their stories with sexy scenes, but at the core of each story is a strong female bond.
