Janey Peyton is filthy rich, living in NJ during the 1980s. She seems to have it all, including an Italian live-in housekeeper who drives her batty with her overbearing dated love advice. Since Janey's workaholic, status-driven parents are absent, the love-starved Janey desperately seeks a soul mate as she cruises the new age nightclubs. Enter Beck Stewart. Like Janey's parents, he's addicted to the grind-but for all the right reasons. He wants to make a better future for himself, and his potential wife, who he hopes will be Janey. Because of their electrifying chemistry, the fact that Janey's a good lay-and she has an impressive book and record collection-Beck falls hard for her, turning a blind eye to the red flags. 'She lies. She snoops and she hates my cat! Nothing keeps her happy?' And still he can't resist. Yet, when Janey mistakes his overtime hours for neglect, she get her revenge, taking on other lovers and gets careless hiding her male and female conquests. It's enough to make him end the relationship. But will his determination to stay clear of Janey really stick? More to the point, can Janey refashion herself to be the woman Beck wants?
"On a Friday morning in late June, the first of several extraordinary photographs appeared inside the folded pages of the latest Journal-a tawdry newsprint rag sheet catering to men looking for cheap thrills. As were all the images printed in this newspaper, this one was a salacious photograph by current standards, depicting a newly nude young woman. She was just a girl actually, but a girl old enough to know what she was doing and with the right to do it." Fresh off the train and looking for a place to live, Aimee happens on the brassy and vivacious Angelica, who invites her to take the vacant room in her boarding house. But this is no ordinary boarding house; its tenants are a deviant, sexual lot, and immediately sets their sights on their newest boarder. As if under a wicked spell, the waifish beauty becomes caught up in the mesmerizing world of sexual domination and surrender. Once her virginity is taken, she becomes a sex toy for Terrance-a handsome but brooding writer with a wealth of nasty desires. Girl in the Mirror is just one of many photographs Aimee unwittingly poses for-never suspecting that her new friends would publish these naughty pictures for their own gain. The scandalous photographs cause quite a stir among the city's male population; everyone is looking for her. When she suddenly disappears, it's anyone's guess if she's been rescued from her unexpected fate or driven deeper into the submissive life she's learned to love. Who was this girl? And what would make this child of innocence bare herself and her sexual passions for all the world to see?
