#1 "NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER
In Northern California two successful CEOs are both indispensable
to their growing companies' futures. Both are brilliant at the
power game. But the difference between them is huge. One is a man,
the other a woman. In this riveting novel, Danielle Steel explores
what that means as she takes readers into the rarefied world of
those at the pinnacle of international business and reveals the
irrevocable choices they make, what drives them, and how others
perceive them. The heady drug of power impacts everything they do.
POWER PLAY
Even though Harvard-educated Fiona Carson has proven herself under
fire as CEO of National Technology Advancement, a
multibillion-dollar high-tech company based in Palo Alto,
California, she still has to meet the challenges of her world every
day. Devoted single mother, world-class strategist, and tough
negotiator, Fiona weighs every move she makes, and reserves any
personal time for her children. Isolation and constant pressure are
givens for her as a woman in a man's world.
Miles away in Marin County, Marshall Weston basks in the fruits of
his achievements. At his side is his wife, Liz, the perfect
corporate spouse, who has gladly sacrificed her own law career to
raise their three children and support Marshall at every step.
Smooth, shrewd, and irreproachable, Marshall is a model chief
executive, and the power he wields only enhances his charisma and
is his drug of choice. And to maintain his position, he harbors
secrets that could destroy his life at any moment. His world is one
of high risks.
Like many women in her position, Fiona has sacrificed her personal
life for her career, while Marshall dances dangerously close to the
edge and flirts with scandal every day. Both must face their own
demons, and fight off those who are jealous of their success. Their
lives as CEOs of major companies come at a high price. And just how
high a price are they willing to pay? Who are they willing to
sacrifice to stay on top? Those they love, or themselves?
Danielle Steel's gripping, emotionally layered novel explores the
seductive and damaging nature of power. Success and greed, trust
and deception, love and loss--all come to a head in this compelling
drama of family, careers, infidelity, and the sacrifices some
people make to hold on to power . . . or to let it go.
