Shades of jade - Gloria Mallette

Marissa dates married men - four of them concurrently - because it's easier. She gets all the trappings of a relationship - love, wining and dining, physical pleasure - without any of the pain - cooking, laundry and relationship maintenance. But when it appears that one of the wives of the men she is dating wants her dead, Marissa begins to re-examine the choices she's made. Her selfishness gives way to vulnerability and fear, and she comes to the conclusion that she deserves a man all her own. But will she survive long enough to find him? A Blackboard best-seller.
