Not a Safe Bet

She’s betting her career on the pitch of a lifetime. He’s the one man she can’t afford to lose to.

In the cutthroat corridors of Manhattan’s most elite ad agency, Penelope Ford has one goal: win the pitch, take the promotion, and leave her rival in the dust. Unfortunately, that rival is Barry James—equal parts brilliant, infuriating, and dangerously irresistible.

When the agency’s biggest client demands a split competition for their multi-million-dollar rebrand, Penelope and Barry are pitted against each other in a winner-takes-all battle for the Senior Marketing Director spot. The rules? There are none.

What begins as a brutal corporate rivalry quickly blurs into something far more complicated—late nights turn into charged encounters, boardroom jabs into breathless moments neither of them can ignore. In a city where power is the ultimate currency, they’ll have to decide if risking their careers—and their hearts—is worth the gamble.
