From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel comes
a powerful novel about a woman running her family’s luxury department
store and the wealthy investor who threatens to take it over.
Spencer
Brooke always knew she was destined to be CEO of her grandfather’s
business—the most respected and luxurious department store in New York
City. Brooke’s has been at the center of every happy memory she has, but
it hasn’t been an easy journey. Seven years after her father’s death,
her life is very different from the days when she walked through the
store with her grandfather as a young girl. She may be the owner of
Brooke’s, but she’s also now a divorced single mother of twin boys. And
with the ever-evolving landscape of the fashion industry comes new
challenges for Spencer and the legacy she’s inherited.
Mike
Weston is known for making enormous profits by transforming small
businesses into bigger, more successful ones. With his marriage at a
breaking point and his children grown up, investing is where he
thrives—where he can build something greater. And Brooke’s feels like
the perfect opportunity. Yet the firm’s beautiful and savvy CEO turns
down the offer before they even meet.
Spencer has no interest in
outside investors meddling in her family business; her grandfather never
saw the need for them, and neither does she. She refuses to be tempted
by Mike’s offer, despite her big dreams of expanding the store. But when
bad luck strikes, suddenly she is backed into a corner.
In Worthy Opponents, Danielle Steel crafts a thrilling story about a powerful woman—and her equally formidable opponent.
