In D. Krentz’s novel, the life of the upper business world of New York is shown in depth, where all the life events of the main heroine, Maxie, unfold.
Maxie Emberville—temperamental, charming, a beauty who has had several husbands—could not come to terms with the fact that her father’s main business, the king of the publishing world, would die because of her stepfather’s dirty game. Her boundless energy, sharp mind, and passionate desire to win lead to success: not only does she manage to save the family company from ruin, but she also wins back the love of the only man who had truly mattered to her.
