Heidi Herman: Crossfire, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The corner office was her kingdom. His was the open range. Can they find common ground?

Those around her marked the passage of time through celebrations of weddings, anniversaries, and graduations, measuring life success through joy in family portraits. Everyone else had a life with husbands and wives, children, and grandchildren. Moirin Garrett has a cat named Orson.

Moirin Garrett's life used to be simple to define: run the operations, keep the company intact, never let emotion interfere. After decades spent building her grandfather's Denver-based energy company into an international corporation, she's poised to be the next CEO, but the Board of Directors announced a rigorous vetting process, ostensibly to avoid nepotism. It should have been a formality, but the challenges of an environmental impact study, resolving a string of increasingly suspicious management issues, and a vindictive business associate aren't helping her pass their scrutiny.

Pulled between boardroom battles and the private ache of a life she never paused to live, Moirin must outmaneuver a charismatic, ruthless opponent who wants revenge. With her company's reputation and her chance at the CEO seat on the line, she leans on unlikely allies: a team roping cowboy and brand inspector with a devastating smile, a determined intern, and the family that defines both her life and career. As evidence mounts and enemies circle, Moirin must decide what kind of leader she'll be-and whether she's willing to risk love or hold onto power.

Crossfire is an emotionally rich novel about legacy, ethics, and the high cost of leadership-perfect for readers who love workplace drama and quiet, fierce romances.
