White Knights
Follow the ups and downs of Emma Cooper as she tries to cope with life in the concrete jungle without losing her grip on her sanity.
White Knights by Astrid Fleming (A & A publishers)
Meet Emma Cooper.
She's young, she's smart, she's British and she's ambitious.
Leaving behind her family in London and a lover somewhere in Africa, Emma soon finds herself smack bang in the middle of life in the corporate world of Wall Street, where she lands herself a job as an investment banker.
To family and friends, it seems as if Emma certainly has found herself everything that she could possibly want. Between being pursued by her boss, moving from one deal to the next and being privy to attending über glamorous parties – one could easily be convinced that life's just one big party for our heroine.
But Emma soon discovers that the world of investment banking is a ruthless and unforgiving world where friends are fake, support non-existent and deals more important than the well-being of the average employee's soul.
In a cosmopolitan city where loneliness disguises itself in the form of non-stop working, Emma has to fight her way to survive, while at the same time, dealing with romantic drama that never seems to go away.
A fabulous, light-hearted and thoroughly enjoyable debut chic-lit novel from an equally fabulous author.
