HOW MUCH WOULD YOU TRADE FOR LOVE? A light-hearted, witty rom-com debut about an affluent suburb where gossip, materialism, and social acceptance set the tone; privilege allows for bad behavior, and one woman's choices have the power to change everything.
Leah Samuels, a single mom and successful party planner, is struggling to stay afloat in her mean-girl-infested suburb until she meets Howard Gardner, a magnetic financial powerhouse who hijacks her heart and her senses. Her friends try to warn her, but Leah is falling in love. Howard seems too good to be true-until he implicates Leah in an insider trading case.
After the Securities and Exchange Commission launches an investigation, Leah decides it's time for a new career and hatches a plan to help save Howard's business.
Leah begins working at Arbor Financial, an old boys' club where she is in over her head and doesn't know whom to trust. There's a new generation of finance bros: stock trading hot shots with snazzy clothes and big dreams-and far too few women.
Leah discovers that Howard knows more than he is telling her, and she must decide if it's worth trading integrity for love and security. When new accusations surface from an unexpected source, the stakes become dangerous, and Leah must make the most important decision of her life: to follow her heart or put the man who stole it behind bars.
A midlife rom-com exploring friendship, secrets, greed, and a single mom's quest for love. Echoes the notion that you're never too old to start over or make a mistake. STOCK MARKET MISTRESS is a humorous, light-hearted romp with the financial intrigue of Michael Lewis and the fish-out-of-water scenarios of Lauren Weisberger, that shines a light on women being taken more seriously in the high-stakes world of finance.
MISTRESS: noun: A woman in a position of Power, Control, or Authority. A page-turning novel, with themes of romance, friendship, mid-life reinvention, insider trading, multi-level marketing, and ultimately, women taking control of their financial destiny.
So clever and fun!!! It's very The Devil Wears Prada meets The Wolf of Wall Street. Eagerly looking forward to whatever this author writes next!
