From the Back Cover:

Barbara Taylor Bradford captivated millions of readers with her saga of the indomitable Emma Harte. Now her unforgettable story continues in this novel of the sacrifice and secrets that shadow her extraordinary heritage...

A Legacy For Three Women...

Paula O'Neil has inherited her grandmother Emma Harte's dream for success-a magnificent business empire in London shared by Paula's daughters, Linnet and Tessa. Yet their future is far less secure than any woman imagines. For beneath the dazzling surface, flares a rivalry and discontent that leave them vulnerable to the dreams of others.

A Mystery For One Stranger...

Into the fray arrives enigmatic American fashion designer Evan Hughes seeking employment. But her interest in the Harte dynasty is a personal one. Bearing a striking resemblance to the Harte lineage, Evan's arrival begins to unravel a mystery that hides in the family's shadows, and that waits to be revealed in Emma's long-lost diaries.

A Secret That Could Define Or Destroy Them All...

Now as the past unfolds, so emerges an extraordinary tale of money and power, passion and revenge, and survival and triumph at any price-one that will irrevocably change the lives and loves of four women and shake an empire to its very foundation.

"An extravagant, absorbing novel of love, courage, ambition, war, death, and passion."
