Publisher's Synopsis
Rival Marketing Directors compete for the same job when their firms merge. Forced to work together to brand the new company while they await the decision on which of them will emerge as the department head, their tenuous relationship is challenged when their teen children and their single parents all meet - and sparks fly.Chess Garrison expected to earn the Chief Marketing Officer position at the Fermi Health Insurance Company. Cora Hartley loved her job as Marketing Director at Fermi's rival company, Hearthstone Health & Wellness Services. Both Marketing Directors have their plans upended when the companies merge. They find themselves in direct competition for the one available CMO role at the new business. Before they can win the CMO position, they must first merge their teams, build a cohesive Marketing strategy and collaborate to establish a unified brand identity for the new company. Their ideas and styles clash. Their teams rebel. They spend more time pranking and sabotaging each other than they do working toward the shared goals of the project. Can Chess and Cora work together, no matter how distasteful they find each other? When Chess' aimless son falls for Cora's naive Princeton-bound daughter, and their septuagenarian single parents start a poorly-disguised fling, right under their noses, they must figure out whether they can get along in the office and out of the office. And they must figure out how they can both get the job they want without stabbing each other in the back - or the heart.
