Harvey York's Rise To Power

Ethan Ashford was a man quietly drowning. Brilliant, educated, yet perpetually underestimated, he married into the Whitmore family, one of London's most pretentious households, only to become the butt of every dinner-table joke and the family's unofficial errand boy. When his wife, Celine, shatters the last thread of his dignity by choosing her wealthy colleague over their marriage, Ethan walks away with nothing but the clothes on his back. Then an unexpected visitor arrives: Edmund Graves, the lifelong steward of the Sterling family, carrying word that Ethan's estranged father, Lord Aldric Sterling, is dying and wishes to see him. Ethan, still raw from a childhood trauma he has never forgiven, reluctantly agrees. What follows changes everything. Thrust into the helm of a crumbling hotel empire worth billions, Ethan must outsmart his scheming half-brother Dorian, reclaim his dignity, and open his heart to Josephine Laurent, a brilliant French chef who refuses to be impressed by wealth or title. But old wounds run deep, and enemies lurk in every polished corridor. Can a man who was abandoned by everyone he loved learn to trust again, or will the darkness inside the Sterling name consume him before he can rise?
