This is women's fiction with bite! Join Alexa as she battles her way through the chauvinistic lads mag's industry and makes real progress - it might be a man's world, but it takes a woman to run it.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em...

Alexa Harris loves a challenge. So when she's asked to head up lads' mag, Banter, she doesn't need much persuasion.

But life on the all-male editorial team proves harder than Alexa had imagined - and not just because of her ambitious targets. As Alexa battles with a testosterone-fuelled office, she decides to play the boys at their own game.

As success hits, she's forced to look at who she has become. Has she forfeited her principles in return for praise from the lads? And what price will there be to pay?

An addictive page turner with a hard-hitting meaning.
