The Ambition by Yvonne Blackwood
Industry power, adultery, murder, family, and ruthless ambition unite in this entertaining tale of a younger brother’s journey to realize his dream of the big time. When John Cippione and his brother Carmine take over their father’s small heating and air-conditioning company, John is determined to propel it forward into a bigger league but has no idea what awaits him in trying to do so. Set in Toronto in the building industry, the story revolves around two second-generation Italian families carrying on the legacy of their parents and demanding respect.
“The Ambition is a riveting story of high-finance business deals, Italian family ties, an illicit romance, and murder. You won’t soon forget Connie, Lorenzo, and the other vivid characters who populate this unique tale.” -Marcia Trahan, author of Mercy
