From Humble Beginnings

All his life, Joe Steel has dreamed of more. Having dragged himself out of the council estates in England's capital, money isn't his only goal, because he has enough of that already. He wants power, he wants position and he wants Juliet. As the daughter of the managing director of his firm, Juliet should be out of bounds. But when the top man himself, Bernard Rustin, starts to matchmake, Juliet's his for the taking. However a recent promotion to the Director of Overseas Development means he can't exactly take what he wants when he's thousands of miles away from London and in the heart of Italy. Especially when Juliet's determined to play hard to get. In the depths of the Milanese countryside is a factory that will be the making of his career; if he can successfully transform it into a viable operation. With his skills and experience, it shouldn't be too difficult, but when the local mafia get involved and a policeman's mutilated hand shows up at Joe's door, the situation is far out of his league. Will they stop him from attaining everything he wants? Or will nothing stand in Joe's way? Always a fighter, he's no stranger to clawing his way towards his goals, but with the mafia dogging his heels, will he survive long enough to become anything more than Just Joe. http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00GLOXHYUhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Humble-Beginnings-Joe-Steel-ebook/dp/B00GL6K0UM/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1384172869&sr=1-4&keywords=from+humble+beginnings
