Corporate Cunning — John Luciew

High Stakes. Huge Money. No Prisoners.A start-up technology company is headed for a gigantic payday in the form of a white-hot initial public offering. The firm's super-charged stock is being fueled by a break-through project developed by fast-rising executive Amanda Creed and her dedicated team. But to cross the finish line, the divorced mother of two has been forced to sacrifice her family -- and her social life.By the time her project hits the big time, Amanda is ready to celebrate with abandon. But her wild, one-night tryst turns to corporate treason, as a spy uses her indiscretion against her. Tables turn, and Amanda finds herself shut out of her own project and shunned at her company.That's nothing compared to the life-and-death stakes in the balance when Amanda's daughter is kidnapped. The girl's only hope is a principled, unassuming ex-Navy SEAL who has been looking out for Amanda and her kids every step of the way. It's a non-stop, pulse-pounding race for love, money -- and life itself.Because in business, competition's a killer.
