Synopsis:

Behind the iconic Gucci name lies a family torn apart by betrayal, jealousy, greed and even murder. Jenny was an operatic student in Florence when she first caught the eye of fashion designer Paolo Gucci - grandson of the founder of the world's biggest fashion house. For ten years, as Mrs Gucci, she was blissfully happy living the life of ultimate luxury. However, she quickly learned that such privilege comes at a price. 

 Against the backdrop of boardroom rivalry and infighting, a dark side of Paolo's character emerged and Jenny's world turned upside down. When she took the unprecedented step of asking for a divorce, her husband swore to make her, and their daughter, homeless and penniless. No-one could have foreseen the lengths he was prepared to go in order to carry out his threat. 

Jenny has survived countless struggles and shocking trauma to emerge as a strong, independent woman. Her story will leave you breathless.

About the Author: Mary Harboe began her career in journalism as a reporter on a local newspaper in her native Norfolk. A desire to travel took her first to London where she produced in-house business magazines and later to Holland, where she edited a global company newspaper. This was followed by relocation to Africa and then the Middle East. She moved to Spain in the late 1980s and enjoyed some 20 years there as a radio broadcaster. In 2006 she was awarded the "Communicator of the Year Award" for her series of programmes The Tsunami - One Year On, charting the reconstruction process in Sri Lanka. It was in Marbella - after meeting Jenny Gucci - that Mary became interested in the real story behind the world's biggest fashion house and 'Gucci Wars' was first published in 2008. Three years later she returned to the UK to produce website content for two Harley Street eye clinics. She also retrained as a Celebrant, creating bespoke ceremonies, including weddings, funerals and naming celebrations. With two adult children, and recently re-married, Mary has now returned to her roots in the beautiful Norfolk countryside where she's currently writing her first novel.
