"A stunning and accomplished debut, with hugely relatable characters and an addictive storyline that kept me turning the pages well into the night. Bravo!" --BA Paris, NYT bestselling author "Wow, The Business Trip was nonstop twists and turns. I loved the unusual way that the story was told, and I kept reading all day long because I couldn't wait to see how it ended!" -- Freida McFadden, NYT bestselling author THE BUSINESS TRIP is the gripping, page-turning debut from author Jessie Garcia. Stephanie Monroe is anything but spontaneous. As a high-powered newsroom director based in Madison, Wisconsin, Stephanie is known for her unwavering commitment to her job. So when she boards a plane to California to attend a conference, the last thing anyone in her life expects is a text from her that she’s fallen for fellow news director, Trent Miholic. She’s going back to Atlanta with him, but don’t worry, he’ll take care of her. Jasmine Veronica is vulnerable. After enlisting her friend Joanie to help her escape an abusive relationship in the middle of the night, Jasmine is resigned to a life of running away and looking over her shoulder. So Joanie is relieved to hear that her friend has met a man in California who makes her feel safe. His name is Trent, he has a fancy job at a news station, and he’s going to take care of her from now on. As the people in the women’s lives receive increasingly strange and erratic messages, red flags go up and panic sets in. When Stephanie and Jasmine are each declared missing and in danger, it begs the questions: who is Trent Miholic? What did he do to these women—or what did they do to him?
