The Long Road to Loving Royce

One prestigious job opportunity, two main contenders. She's trapped under a glass ceiling. His career is all he cares about.

Ambitious divorcee Verity Parker is determined to break new ground for professional women in the male-dominated Australian mining industry, by shattering the company's glass ceiling and proving she has what it takes to survive the perils of upper management. Success can come at a cost though, which Verity soon discovers after snatching the top job from the waiting hands of her main rival.

Royce James is known to be hard-nosed and astute, making him a formidable adversary but also a valuable ally in the dog-eat-dog corporate world. Can Verity forge an alliance with him, the man she beat to the coveted CEO position and who no doubt holds a grudge? With tensions between them rising, Verity must decide if she can trust Royce to do right by her, or if he'll prove to be her most ruthless nemesis.

Does he have her job in his sights, or her wary heart ... or both?
