In the novel, D. Krenc vividly portrays the life of New York’s high business world, where all the life events of the main character, Maxie, unfold.
Maxie Emberville—a temperamental, charming beauty who has had several husbands—could not come to terms with the fact that her father’s main business—king of the publishing world—would die because of her stepfather’s dirty games. Her boundless energy, sharp mind, and passionate desire to win lead to success: she not only manages to save the family company from ruin, but also wins back the love of the only man who was truly dear to her.
