When Anton Magnus takes her ideas for the benefit of Magnus Industries and betrays her in a cruel way, he turns her into a rival and a determined enemy. Complicating matters, she has fallen in love with Jack, Anton's son and heir, the charming man who once taught her the treacherous rules of family and corporate power.

As Francie searches for the weak points in the Magnus empire, she finds an unexpected ally, and her plans harden into a calculated scheme for revenge. The story moves through the glamorous and ruthless world of international business, where every alliance is risky and every move carries high stakes.
