Mistress of the Game
Synopsis
Eve and Alexandra Blackwell, twins, have fought each other for decades. Now the feud passes to the next generation. This book follows Master of the Game, and it carries on the same family battle through their children.
Lexi, Alexandra's daughter and the kinder of the two sides, has survived a kidnapping and an assault that left her deaf. She has to rebuild her life and her career from there. Her cousin Max, Eve's son, is working to ruin her and take control of the family empire.
As the two camps fight over the company, Lexi is pulled toward Gabriel McGregor, a powerful businessman. His family has been murdered, and his own company is caught in the crossfire between the Blackwells.
The story moves between several points of view. It mixes corporate intrigue with betrayal and a slow-burning romance, all set against old grudges and ruthless ambition. The question that drives it is whether Lexi can keep both her company and her life out of Max's reach.
