More about the book

Jane Addison, an ambitious twenty-eight-year-old, arrives in New York to work at the prestigious Fletcher and Benson talent agency, dreaming of owning her own company. Eager to impress, she becomes an assistant to Hailey West, a dedicated literary agent grappling with the chaos of raising three children after her husband's tragic death. In contrast, Francine Rivers, the stern head of the literary department, has endured financial struggles as a single mom due to her husband's affair, making significant sacrifices for her career. Meanwhile, Allie Moore, a drama agent, enjoys her success until a passionate relationship with a rising star client threatens her career. Merriwether Jones, the agency's CFO, appears to have it all—beauty, success, and a perfect marriage—until her husband's jealousy over her career complicates matters. As a newcomer, Jane quickly discovers the damaging secrets lurking within Fletcher and Benson. Despite being the youngest and least powerful employee, she refuses to accept the status quo. Determined to address the hidden wrongs, Jane risks everything, leading to consequences that will affect everyone involved.
