Grace provided the explanation. "Allen's his name. He's Bonnie's notorious young powerhouse who just came back recently.
"His network runs deep, and his backing's solid—we can't risk crossing him. But earn his favor, and we'll have free rein in Bonnie."

She added, "With Allen backing you, one word from him could get the bank to approve your loan."
Grey's excitement was immediate. Tate, who'd been eavesdropping, burst out, "Someone that young has that much pull?"
"Lucky sperm lottery," Grace replied with a slight snort, her voice carrying both envy and contempt.
