Books like It Happened in Manhattan by Emily Mckay
After their father passes away, Emily and Katie McKay inherit a failing chain of upscale hotels, along with a mountain of debts. A rival hotel chain offers a last‑minute merger: if they marry the rival’s owner within a weekend, the deal will save the business. Emily, the elder sister, is chosen for the marriage, while Katie’s already romantic commitments complicate matters. A looming second buyer threatens to take one of Katie’s properties, potentially forcing her away from the merger as well. Amid the scramble, a secret cruise line tied to the hotels may provide the financial lifeline needed to keep the chain afloat. Alex, one of the sisters’ advisors, must protect this secret at all costs.
