What happens when a princess' crown is tilted? Shelley
Swartz was a princess in every sense of the word, except for
the title. She "worked" at a job in her father's advertising
firm, took long lunches with her lover-du jour, and for all
practical purposes, lived a life of pampered luxury. But
Shelley's world is turned upside-down after her father
suffers a heart attack, and turns control of the company
over to, not Shelley, but Ross Morgan, her good-looking nemesis.
When Ross gives Shelley the ultimatum to either begin
bringing in business or get out, Shelley becomes determined
to show him that she does have the brains and the know-how
to get the job done. Given the dregs of the company's
accounts, Shelley sets out to turn the poor-producers into
the stars of the firm. She recruits the help of her sister,
Judy, whose own life was suffering from mid-life
complacency. Between the two sisters, they manage to breathe
life back into both the floundering accounts, but into their
own misconstrued lives as well.
Wendy Wax spins a vivacious tale of Southern charm and humor
in her latest novel, HOSTILE MAKEOVER. Set in Atlanta, Wax
paints her portrayal of two Jewish American Princesses, and
their journey towards new found self-reliance and
self-confidence. There's just enough sexual romping to make
this story a lively, lusty experience, but it is also a
smart, intelligent accounting of thirty-something's feisty
battle in the arena of love, family and business. Thoroughly
enjoyable!
It was the first orgasm Shelley Schwartz ever faked. She
swore she’d never do it, but she was late for a
career-saving meeting at Schwartz and Associates and her
options were limited.
If she’d faked it five minutes sooner, she might have earned
her father’s approval, won the account, and bested her rival
and the company golden boy, Ross Morgan.
Calm, cool, and always collected, Ross is the perfect person
to take over the ad agency her father founded—and the
perfect opposite of Shelley, who’s distracted by her
mother’s relentless matchmaking and her big sister’s marital
meltdown. Is it any wonder her father has entrusted the
agency to the blond, Porsche-driving Ross rather than his
own flesh and blood?
To add insult to injury, Ross—her new boss—has stuck Shelley
with the client list from hell (Falafel Hut, anyone?). But
if he thinks he’s going to chase Shelley Schwartz out of her
family legacy, he’s got another thing coming. And if Shelley
thinks she can resist Ross’s charms, she’s got some
surprises in store as well...
