Loren Hardeman and Angelo Perino are two men united by their shared vision, daring, and arrogance. But Perino committed the unpardonable sin: he had become necessary to Hardeman, having helped him retain control over Bethlehem Motors when his grandson, Loren Hardeman III, made his power grab. Beaten savagely by thugs hired by Loren III, fired abruptly by Loren I, Angelo Perino wed the love of his life and fled to New York. Now Perino and Loren III, still bitter enemies, have forged an uneasy truce that brings Perino back to Bethlehem Motors. Loren III, who falls back on his family's name and money, and Perino, who relies on talent, charisma, and prowess in the bedroom, lock horns once more.
