title: Breaking into the Boardroom
author: Melia Jinx
description: This is a reissue of a book privately published by the author as Why Jenny Can't Lead. Addressing primarily corporate male dominance and women's workplace problems, Melia, who conducts seminars on "gender politics," here offers an incisive overview of life's power struggles from bear-cave to boardroom. A woman on a corporate management board becomes isolated and rendered ineffectual, she avers; yet at the same time Melia instructs women to shape up and not cry foul when treated "unfairly" by men. Despite noting what she considers to be inescapable biological and cultural gender differences (no woman yet "has jumped out the window because her stocks dropped"), the author foresees a new "powerful woman" who will affect business, government, social and family life for the better. Some feminists will be dissatisfied, if not furious, at Melia's arguments. <br />Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  Her computer is her greatest weapon.
  
  
  Hacker Jerrica West doesn’t abide by the rules, so when her by-the-book ex
  recruits her to locate his missing Delta Force leader, she’s shocked. Gray
  Prescott is a hard man to refuse, but this assignment is more dangerous than
  either of them could have guessed. When the cybertrail exposes a terrorist
  plot, Jerrica must put her faith in the man she might be forced to walk away
  from all over again...
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Jerrica made it up to her apartment, got through the triple locks and shut the
  door behind her.
  
  
  Her gaze flicked about the room, and a shot of adrenaline lanced her system.
  
  
  She dropped her dinner, plunged her hand into the front pocket of her backpack
  and pulled out her .22.
  
  
  “Get out here with your hands up or I swear to God I’ll shoot you through the
  bathroom wall.”
  
  
  The door to the bathroom inched open and a pair of hands poked through the
  opening, fingers wiggling.
