Heiress of Ruin

Ten years ago, Philippa Ashworth left Lorenzo Vitale standing under a Cambridge colonnade and never told him why. She didn't know yet what his family's bank had done to her father's company. Now she's the turnaround specialist hired to save Vitale & Co from its own balance sheet—and he's the CEO she's supposed to report to. The past is in the room with them. The memo she was never supposed to find. The ring she still wears on a chain under her blouse. Six weeks, one Milan office, and a derivatives book with a dead man's trap inside it. When the restructuring closes, Lorenzo loses his board chair to protect the truth, and Philippa is offered the seat. What she does with it is one thing. What she does ten years late, under the colonnade, is another. A spicy, second-chance billionaire romance about ledgers, betrayals, and the ring that was always in his pocket.
