The Harte saga is as much a force of nature as a work of fiction.., the issues at stake still compel readers after 25 years. Bradford understood early on readers' hunger for depictions of women who are strong and powerful and whose values embrace family. A quarter-century ago, Emma Harte crossed the no-woman's-land that once divided family and business, and now generations of readers consider her a role model in their own lives.

The Deravenels: Their business empire is worth billions,their influence stretches across the globe. And Edward,the dashing and charismatic chosen son, is the king of his company at last. He has survived harrowing years of betrayal, threats from ruthless enemies, and countless lovers--his demanding wife among them. But the most dramatic event of Edward's life is still to come...

A worthy heir is needed to keep the Deravenel dynasty alive. But for this family, tragedy and death remain obstacles at every turn. Now Edward must navigate a dangerous collision course between his two brothers: the loyal, beloved Richard and his middle brother, George,an alcoholic bent on ruining Edward and his good name.Or he could pursue an entirely different 0ption--one so desperate, and scandalous, that it would leave the world of the Deravenels forever changed...
