Power, Prestige...and Complete Nonsense. Welcome to corporate warfare in the oilpatch.
When the enigmatic founder of Sandhurst Oil drops dead, Chester Field wants no part of the knife fight to replace him. He's an engineer in a comfortable job as vice-president. He has good friends, a gin & tonic habit, and zero appetite for corporate bloodsport.
But Chester has a problem named Hugh Rectom, an ambitious rival with perfect hair, no conscience, and a dangerous mentor pulling strings behind the boardroom door. There's also Isabella Towers, the new VP, who just walked into his life. She's tall, brilliant, and completely off-limits. Then there's Motherish, Chester's outrageous stepmother who is organizing a hostile takeover with enemies he hasn't even identified yet.
When a shadowy insider begins leaking company secrets, Chester discovers he has instincts he never knew about, and ambitions he's been hiding from himself. Now he has to decide: play it safe, or fight for the throne he's not sure he deserves.
Set in the cutthroat oilpatch of the 1990s, The Naked Ambition is a sharp, funny and ruthlessly entertaining tale of power, loyalty, and the terrifying moment you realize you actually want to win.
