The Merger He Rode In On

Sloane Whitfield has run her grandfather's steel mill for nine years without ever holding the majority shares. Now the man who owns them is dead, and the son who inherited them has ninety days and a motorcycle. Nico Corsetti grew up in Detroit in a family that settles its accounts with handshakes and consequences. He came to Michigan to sell a mill and leave. He stayed because Sloane Whitfield reads her grandfather's notebooks out loud like scripture and cannot be intimidated by a spreadsheet or a man on a bike. They can save the company together. That's the easy part. The hard part is the phone call from Detroit, and the vote, and the repudiation of a birthright in front of a room full of men who do not forgive. The first book in the Corsetti Mill series.
