Wife in the Fast Lane

Le Pitch
Présentation de l'éditeur Christy Hayes Drummond, Olympic athlete turned business mogul, has it all - fame, money, a gorgeous and powerful CEO husband. But when she adopts 11-year-old Renata, her enviable world starts to unravel. Soon she's battling it out with three formidable opponents: a ruthless business partner intent on ousting her from the company she started; a tyrannical stay-at-home mum who'll stop at nothing to maintain her PTA powerbase, and a stunning singleton who's determined to become the third Mrs Michael Drummond. From the Upper East Side of Manhattan to the lush seaside village of St Tropez and the glamorous resort towns of Davos and Aspen, Christy tries valiantly to succeed at the work that feeds her soul and the family that captures her heart. And while Christy is not your average woman, her funny, heartbreaking and absurd journey will strike a chord with any one who has ever dared to dream of having it all. Quatrième de couverture Meet Christy Hayes. She built a multi-million dollar company, won two Olympic gold medals and ensnared New York City's most eligible bachelor. But nothing can prepare her for the ruthless competition of the Yummy Mummy-Mafia at the Colby Girls' School. She thought she had it all: fame, money, a gorgeous and powerful CEO husband. But when eleven-year-old Renata enters Christy's life, her enviable world starts to unravel. Juggling unexpected motherhood, business attacks from all sides, a tyrannical Stay-At-Home Mumer who'll stop at nothing to maintain her PTA powerbase, and a high-maintenance huband who just wants his share of attention, something's got to give in Christy's life - but what? Her marriage? Her career? Her sanity? Funny, feel-good and wickedly over-the-top, Christy's valiant attempts to succeed at the work that feeds her soul and the family that captures her heart will strike a chord with anyone who's ever dared to dream of having it all. Warm, witty and utterly irrepressible, Karen Quinn is the author of the smash-hit bestseller, The Ivy Chronicles, selected as a Richard & Judy Summer Read: 'An irresistible peek into the world of the super-wealthy' Mail on Sunday 'Real laugh-out-loud humour' Judy Finnigan Biographie de l'auteur After losing a big corporate job, Karen Quinn helped found Smart City Kids, a New York-based company dedicated to guiding families through the application process to Manhattan's most competitive schools.
