Title: Privatised Passions Rating: PG Word Count: 155 Summary (and any Warnings): Blurb for a modern corporate AU. Because why not Notes/Links: tropes, like... this and this and wordy's Three's a Crowd too. ‘The politics of the boardroom and the bedroom come down to the same thing: you’ve gotta make them want it.’Statuesque Kel Mindelan has worked all her life to prove that women can hold their own in the commercial world better than any man. When she begins working at Conte International, though, she discovers that the business big leagues aren’t so easily surmounted. There’s Joren, the corporate wunderkind who hates everything she represents but can’t deny the attraction between them. Neal, the maverick son of one of Conte’s biggest investors, her only real friend and ally in the boardroom. And Jon Conte. 3rd generation CEO to a business empire worth billions; the boss who hadn’t wanted to hire her in the first place, but still gives her diamonds to congratulate her promotions. In a whirlwind journey that will take Kel from the Hamptons to Hong Kong, can she conquer the private sector and its princes?

I can totally see Joren as a corporate wunderkind, not to mention that undeniable attraction. Love that first line, too! The horrible thing about blurbs is it makes me want to read the non-existent fic...

If this were a novel, it'd be the kind that features all the relationships lol. BUT She'd totally end up with Neal in the end.

I know you're the author, max, but are you sure? Spoiler I feel like in a post 50 Shades-world, she could just as easily end up with Jon. Though that probably just shows that I'd be fooled by your clever plotting and well placed red herrings...

And Jon Conte. 3rd generation CEO to a business empire worth billions; the boss who hadn’t wanted to hire her in the first place, but still gives her diamonds to congratulate her promotions. I'm having the strongest kneejerk 'what an egoistic sexist prig!' reaction to this line. Which I hope is just as you intended it =P But I'm glad she gets Neal in the end =P
