A book about women in mid-life with teenage children, careers on the line and husbands to manage. Music mogul, Rowena Krebs has reached her industry pinnacle. Topaz Rossi is at the head of American Magazines, living a blessed, designer-styled life. Best friends on opposite sides of the country. Rich, successful, happy … right?

All is not as it seems, and once pulled, the thread unravels quickly. Suddenly those at the top are fighting to stay on their pedestals. People don’t buy CDs any more. Magazines are a dying industry. Sales are dropping. There is danger lurking in the shadows and a middle aged woman, no matter how sexy, wealthy and successful, must be constantly on her toes, but never underestimate a woman in the prime of her life, especially if she’s joined forces with her best friend.

Do not forget if careers are a game winning is everything, especially if the rules change. Adaptability is survival. Power and glamour, trust-fund brats and billionaires. It is all here, and it is fun. 

Brimming with designer clothes, make up and Manolo Blahniks, Career Game is a frivolous sex-capade through stagnant careers, marriage glitches, architectural delights and revenge served very, very, cold. Infinity pools and tiny triangular bikinis, treadmills and chauffeured cars, champagne and adoring husbands – fantasy of the highest order.
