Steel & Hammer

CASSIE ST. JAMES, 46.
MBA; Vice President–Restructuring Division, Blackwood Securities. In a previous life, she was a high-dollar hooker. She’s divorced, lives in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, has four adult children (all of whom live with her), engages in strategic revenge, and possesses a latent penchant for silliness. She claims she became a call girl because she was bored, but really, nobody’s buying that.
When good girls go bad and then become temptations for Mormon bishops, they somehow end up going Latin dancing on Saturday nights in New York City, but fair warning: You do not want to get on her bad side.
MITCH HOLLANDER, 44.
PhD, metallurgical engineering; founder and CEO of Hollander Steelworks, headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He is also a widowed Mormon bishop (God’s “low-level project manager.”) who served half an 18-month mission in Paris, France. He likes fast cars and ZZ Top.
He’s lived a thousand lifetimes of hardship without bending or breaking—but he comes pretty close when he meets his equal in a board room. “So. He did have a swagger.”
