When an ordinary business conference becomes the beginning of a legal case!
When Daniel Mercer and Sophia Bennett meet at an international leadership conference, nothing about their first conversation appears unusual. They are respected executives and devoted spouses; thoughtful professionals who share a passion for leadership, organizational culture, and ethical decision-making.
When Daniel Mercer and Sophia Bennett meet at an international leadership conference, nothing about their first conversation appears unusual. They are respected executives and devoted spouses; thoughtful professionals who share a passion for leadership, organizational culture, and ethical decision-making.
They exchange ideas, recommend articles, collaborated professionally, and after the conference returned home to the people they love.
Claire Whitmore-a veteran corporate and family lawyer-knows better.
Because by the time people arrive in a lawyer's office, the decisions that mattered most have already been made.
In this powerful opening novel of The Price of Pleasure Series, Claire reopens a closed case-not to determine who was guilty, but to answer a far more important question:
How do ordinary people slowly become part of extraordinary consequences?
Part psychological drama, part corporate fiction, and part relationship novel, The Conference Dinner explores:
- Professional admiration that quietly becomes emotional dependence
- The subtle erosion of personal and marital boundaries
- The hidden cost of small compromises
- Corporate ethics, trust, and executive leadership
- Marriage, family, loyalty, and the choices that shape a lifetime
This is not a story about villains. It is a story about good people who never noticed the direction in which their lives were slowly moving.
If you enjoy thoughtful contemporary fiction, The Conference Dinner offers a compelling exploration of relationships, integrity, and the quiet decisions that shape our futures.
Because every legal case begins long before anyone calls a lawyer.
- No promises are broken.
- No boundaries appear to have been crossed.
