The Bastard's Crown - Book 4
Tom Hartman never asked for an empire.
What began as an unexpected inheritance has become a sprawling legacy of power, wealth, and responsibility that reaches farther than he ever imagined. The companies once known as Briskon are shifting under a new name, and the world is watching every move. Allies stand closer than ever. Old wounds with his siblings refuse to stay buried. And the carefully balanced life Tom has built... one of loyalty, desire, and chosen family... is about to face its greatest test yet.
In the boardrooms and private suites of a changing empire, every decision carries weight. Trust must be earned all over again. Loyalty must be proven under pressure. The people Tom has gathered around him... those who chose him when the rest of the world only saw the money... will either become his greatest strength or the very pressure that finally threatens to break the life he is fighting to protect.
Power can be claimed.
Family must be chosen.
And some crowns are only kept by those willing to risk everything for the people who matter most.
The final chapter of Tom Hartman's rise begins now.
