Mods if this is not allowed then feel free to chastise as you wish!

If you like a good novel then check this out. It's set around the time of the financial meltdown and a womans fight to survive in a man's world. A one line description:

"A racy tale, set within investment banking, about debt and dysfunction, deception, lust, and old fashioned love, where there are as many winners as losers. Or perhaps everyone's a winner. Even the dead."
