Three generations of Hartes. One indomitable family whose loyalty binds them together and whose enemies want to tear them apart.Evan Hughes, Emma\'s American great-granddaughter, is trying to integrate into the powerful Harte family. She is caught between her estranged parents, her new family, and her new love. But a dangerous enemy hovers in the background.Tessa Longden, Evan\'s cousin, is battling her husband for custody of their daughter, Adele. When Adele suddenly goes missing, Tessa is forced to seek help from her half-sister Linnet-a woman who has been her rival all their lives. Linnet, the most brilliant businesswoman of the four great-granddaughters, is desperately trying to show that she is the natural heir to her mother, Paula. But her glittering future at the helm of the vast Harte empire means many sacrifices, perhaps even the loss of her sister\'s fragile trust.And India Standish, the traditionalist in the family, falls in love with a famous British artist from a working-class background. Madly in love, India is determined to marry him, no matter what her family thinks.It is Evan who finds new perspective about her own life from the revelations in letters that Emma wrote to Evan\'s grandmother decades ago. But they may come too late....As conflict and danger swirl around the Harte women, someone is pulling the strings to make sure none of them finds happiness. Who among them will rise to the challenges as only a true Harte can do? This latest dramatic story in the ongoing saga of an extraordinary family dynasty is full of love, passion, jealousy, and ambition. It is Barbara Taylor Bradford at her inimitable best.编者评论 - Reed Business Information (c) 2004Emma Harte, the redoubtable heroine of veteran novelist Bradford\'s 1976 bestseller, A Woman of Substance, has been dead for 30 years, but she\'s still a player in the continuing family saga. Her pronouncements and unwritten rules are well remembered by all the descendants in the dynasty and business empire she founded. This installment begins where Emma\'s Secret (2004) left off, with Evan Hughes, the young visitor from the U.S., obtaining a dream job in fashion at the renowned London department store, Harte\'s, and beginning a romance with Gideon Harte, heir apparent to the family newspaper enterprise. In the previous volume, Evan learned that her own father was the illegitimate child of another Harte scion (making Evan and Gideon cousins a few times removed), and now she wonders whether she should divulge this secret to her father, who is soon to arrive in London. A true crisis distracts her, however: the disappearance of three-year-old Adele, adored daughter of store manager Tessa, one of Emma\'s great-grandchildren. Linnet, Tessa\'s half-sister and sometimes business rival, comes to the rescue and Adele soon reappears, but tensions between the sisters persist. Meanwhile, Linnet\'s cousin India has fallen in love with a painter from a working-class background, and India must battle her family\'s disapproval. The exploits and adventures of Bradford\'s indomitable heroines continue to make for lusty escapist fiction in this robust fifth novel in the series. Agent, Mort Janklow at Janklow & Nesbit. (Jan. 4) Forecast: Bradford\'s 30-year-old saga has aged surprisingly well. This latest installment should climb as high up the charts as previous volumes.
