Hope Hunter has a simple goal: she wants it all. It's not greed; she just believes a professional woman should enjoy both a successful career and a fulfilling love life. At least, that's what she used to think. Now she's not so sure.

A few months ago, Hope's life was coming together beautifully. A recent MBA graduate, she ran the venture capital division of a world-class Chicago ad agency. Her husband, David, was wonderful, and her life seemed, well, perfect.

Things start to go wrong when Hope accepts a job as CEO of Pink Slips, a digital startup pushed by her brother-in-law, Joel. Something isn't quite right about Pink Slips, but by the time Hope puts her finger on what's wrong, it's too late.

With her marriage ruined, her professional future in jeopardy, and a passionate encounter with the handsome Rob Adler still on her mind, Hope relocates to London, England, where she meets the inaccessible Jeffrey Davis. There, she hopes to decide if it's worth fighting for the Pink Slips job and whether Rob or Jeffrey has any place in her life.

An entertaining look at the difficulties and rewards of juggling work and romance, Pink Slips is the first book in the Hope Hunter Chronicles.
