In the blistering heat of Muscat, Oman, five days can change everything . . .
It’s been five long years since Olivia Stevens first started working on Block 19—a coveted oil concession worth millions. At the time, a foreign oil and gas deal promised glamour and excitement and positioned Olivia for a major career promotion.
But now, the Omani government has issued an ultimatum, leaving Olivia and her team with five short days to secure ownership of the concession. They only need seven million dollars!
From the moment they land in Muscat, Oman, the American oil executives find themselves embroiled in a dangerous game of corporate intrigue and personal ambition. As Olivia delves deeper into learning about their potential investors, the unscrupulous Zadjali Brothers, she quickly discovers no one can be trusted. When business negotiations escalate into threats, relationships, both personal and professional, are put to the test, forcing Olivia and her colleagues to navigate a treacherous landscape of deceit, manipulation, and violence. The stakes are higher than they ever imagined.
To make matters worse, they weren’t expecting subterfuge from within . . .
As they race against time to close the deal, loyalties are tested, lives are risked, and the line between friend and foe blurs.
How much would you sacrifice to get what you want?
Ambition, loyalty, and culture collide in Concessions, a compelling thriller that doesn’t stop until the last page.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In the blistering heat of Muscat, Oman, five days can change everything . . .It's been five long years since Olivia Stevens first started working on Block 19-a coveted oil concession worth millions. When she and her team of American oil executives arrive in Oman, everyone anticipates finalizing the deal, and Olivia expects a career-defining success. Instead, she finds herself caught in the middle of a dangerous power struggle that quickly turns into a game of perilous corporate subterfuge. Not only has the Omani government issued an ultimatum-find seven million dollars in five days or lose the deal-but their local partner, Qasim, is secretly playing both sides, torn between loyalty to his country and the Western executives who have promised him wealth and power. To make matters worse, the investors Qasim has brought to the table are unscrupulous with plans of their own. As Qasim's guilt deepens, so does the danger for everyone involved.With the clock ticking, Olivia must navigate high-stakes negotiations in a world where power demands loyalty and truth comes with a price. As business discussions spiral into threats, alliances crumble and friends become foes. Greed and deception threaten to shatter carefully constructed plans and Olivia discovers the greatest danger isn't across the table-it's within her own team. Caught between ambition, conscience, and survival, Olivia faces a harrowing question: How much am I willing to sacrifice to get what I want?Set against the exotic backdrop of the Middle East, Concessions delivers a powerful blend of moral complexity and fast-paced suspense. It's a story about ambition, guilt, and resilience in the face of betrayal and an exploration of what happens when the pursuit of power collides with the weight of moral conscience.Described by Kirkus Reviews as " . . . a meditation on power and the price of survival. A shrewd, elegantly paced novel about the dangerous bargains that people strike in pursuit of oil, money, and absolution," Concessions is perfect for fans of female-led thrillers, corporate intrigue, and novels like John Grisham's The Firm and Ruth Ware's One by One. Concessions explores the cost of pursuing success when power demands loyalty and truth comes with a price.
