The Bastard's Crown

The Bastard's Crown - Book 3

Tom Hartman has claimed the empire.

The will is settled. The boardroom battles have been fought. The ordinary warehouse worker from Green Bay now stands at the center of a fortune most men only dream about. But power, Tom is discovering, is the easy part.

Building something that lasts is harder.

With Michelle at his side and a growing circle of fiercely loyal women finding their place in his life, Tom begins shaping more than just companies and assets. He begins shaping a family... one chosen bond, one hard decision, and one act of deliberate generosity at a time. Yet not everyone is ready to accept the new order. Old resentments still burn. Entitlement refuses to die quietly. And the higher Tom rises, the clearer it becomes that some people would rather destroy what they cannot control than accept a place within it.

From private estates on sun-drenched shores to distant holdings across the world, Tom continues the quiet work of turning sudden wealth into lasting purpose. Loyalty is tested. Trust is earned. And the line between empire and home grows thinner with every choice he makes.

The crown is his. The name on the door is changing. But the real legacy is still being written... one relationship, one boundary, and one passionate night at a time.

The Bastard's Crown - Book 3 continues the unapologetic rise of a man who refused to become the monster the world expected... and the women who chose to stand with him while he became something better.
