The Bastard's Crown

The Bastard's Crown

Book 2

Tom Hartman has claimed his crown.

But power is never given freely... and keeping it may demand more than he ever imagined.

With his empire expanding and old enemies still circling in the shadows, Tom turns his attention to the fractured family he never asked for. As he extends unexpected olive branches to his hostile half-siblings, he discovers that mending broken bonds may be far more dangerous than seizing control ever was. Generosity can be mistaken for weakness. Trust can be weaponized. And in the cutthroat world of billionaires and hidden legacies, every alliance comes with a hidden price.

At his side stands Michelle... fierce, passionate, and unyielding in her love... while new allies and lovers begin to find their place in his growing circle. Desire burns hotter than ever, loyalty is tested in the fire of betrayal, and the ordinary man from Green Bay must learn what it truly means to rule with both strength and heart.

From the glittering boardrooms of New York to the shadowed streets of Thailand, Tom faces impossible choices: protect the empire he has built, heal the family wounds left by his father, or risk everything for the people who matter most.

The crown is his.

Now he must decide what kind of king he will become.

An intoxicating blend of power, passion, and chosen family... continue the journey of The Bastard's Crown.
