The Exit Strategy

A wife. A mistress. The friendship that saves them both.

When Silicon Valley venture capitalist Ryn Brennan sits down to close the biggest deal of her career, she never imagines finding herself face-to-face with her husband's mistress. But across the negotiating table is Carly Santos—the brilliant scientist and single mom seeking funding for her life-saving startup - a woman who's unknowingly been sharing Ryn's "perfect" husband.

What should destroy both their careers instead becomes the foundation for an unlikely alliance. As Ryn and Carly navigate the sexism in Silicon Valley's male-dominated world, they discover that supporting each other might be their best strategy yet.

Who says the other woman has to be the enemy?
