In Gilded Age Philadelphia, power belongs to the men who build empires.
Robert Van Enger built his from nothing. Now he controls commerce, factories, and the city's most influential advertising agency. Discipline and strategy have always been his greatest strengths—until he meets the one woman who no one can manage.
Dorian Hathaway is a brilliant advertising designer with a mind unlike anyone else's. Independent and uniquely herself, she has carved a place in a world that rarely makes space for women like her. Most see her as unusual. Robert sees her as extraordinary.
As their bond deepens, their love is not without peril. When ruthless enemies threaten Robert's life, seeking to tear him down, his sole concern is Dorian's safety. Even as he heals from his wounds and plots his next strategy, one thing remains unshakable: no one will hurt her or their chance at happiness.
The Merchant Prince is a sweeping historical romance about integrity, ambition, and the rare gift of being truly seen.
