Heels of Steel

For fans of Lauren Weisberger, Sophie Kinsella and Kevin Kwan, a compulsive, fast-paced contemporary women’s fiction novel set in the heady world of Manhattan renovations and new-builds, with delicious action on and around the city’s high-rise construction sites.

When twenty-something Bridget Steele—a petite and curvy Jewish girl from the Bronx—starts a construction company in New York City, she’s up against more than just budgets, studs, and steel beams. After teaming up with one of the world’s most powerful businesswomen to land a high-stakes job that would catapult her construction company to the top, one disaster after another threatens her path to success. Swept up in the male-dominated world of real estate and construction, Bridget has to fight corrupt politicians, boy’s club union workers, and community activists, and also a rival contractor who might just be the love (or at least best sex) of her life in this tale of love, betrayal, money, control, greed, and one gorgeous skyscraper that Bridget is determined to build. Does she want love or success?

Gorgeous, indefatigable Bridget Steele’s dream is to change the Manhattan skyline. Readers will root for Bridget and they’ll also love the men, friends and nemeses and extravagant Kevin Kwan–style drama of her life. Will Bridget get her building up?
