An intriguing psychological journey filled with memorable cameos of characters from The Office Girls, unforgettable erotic encounters and a twisted yet realistic story line.

Psychologist Dr. Johnny Forrester is a former sex addict and brother to Michael Forrester, the steamy protagonist from Sylvester Stephens's previous bestseller The Office Girls. Desperate to understand the minds of his five severely disturbed female patients and validate himself as a doctor, Johnny repeatedly violates the sacred boundary that protects the doctor-patient relationship.

He becomes emotionally involved with a woman accused of abusing her child and tolerates her blatant manipulation of him. Then he allows another patient, a Pulitzer Prize-winner and Nobel Prize laureate, to take him under her wing as her submissive protégé. Most shockingly, he has an adulterous affair with one of his lusty female patients. When two of these women are murdered—including his lover—Johnny is implicated in some serious trouble, and Michael turns up to help his bewildered brother.

The Nature of a Woman is a suspenseful psychological journey into the minds and souls of women diagnosed with mental disorders and the mental clinicians who treat them.
