Olivia Phillips e a sua amiga, Callinda Beauvais, jamais imaginaram que a sua determinação em fazer algumas mudanças no cartão de medicamentos da Larkspur Insurance Company daria azo a traição dentro da própria empresa ou que as levaria a terem de lutar pelas próprias vidas e a sofrer lesões graves.
Apesar de enfrentarem obstáculos constantes, conseguem atingir o seu objetivo. Quando uma seguradora concorrente faz uma proposta para adjudicação de um contrato canadiano de fornecimento de medicamentos e um senador atua de forma agressiva, instala-se o caos. Emoções altamente intensas estão na origem de voltas e reviravoltas, enquanto a pessoa de quem menos se espera engendra a némesis. O cartão de medicamentos origina romance e Olivia joga “a última cartada” como se estivesse a jogar pinochle… contra tudo o que seria de esperar.

Callie was alone. And she was late. The entire floor of her building echoed its silence. With a huff, she rushed for the door just as her office phone rang piercingly. Her mind stumbled. Ignore or scuttle? “Damn!” Smacking the door knob, she lassoed her impatience and leaned across her file-strewn desk.
“Callie Beauvais.” She thrummed her fingers on the desktop.
“What’s going on, Callie? The woman’s voice was impatient, strident.
“Olivia. I’m on my way downstairs to the party now…Sorry I’m running late.” Callie laughed, “I know how you love a party.”
Silence.
Callie’s brow furrowed. “Olivia? What………? Are you all right?”
“No, I-am-not-all-right,” Olivia Phillips spit out. “We’re supposed to be friends…. through thick and thin, remember?”
Callie blanched. “Olivia….,” she whispered, clearly stunned. “Of course we are. What are you talking about?” Her free hand lifted to her tightening throat.
“Hunter’s on the warpath. It’s that press release Bram helped me word for the paper. He asked why I changed my mind about the contracts. I tried to calm him down because there were no quick answers, it just required further study.” Olivia sniffed loudly before continuing in a low voice. “He ranted and raved about Bram being too cautious…. Then he told me I shouldn’t listen to you either, of all people….….” She sniffed again.
“Why? I’m coming downstairs right now!” Callie’s heart raced
