In the wake of tragedy she rose from poverty to magnificent wealth as the iron-willed force behind a thriving international enterprise. As one of the richest women in the world Emma Harte has almost everything she fought so hard to achieve--save for the dream of love,
and for the passion of the one man she could never have.

My Thoughts...
I reread this book after, well lets just say a long time ago. It was such a great read. It's a long one and one you can devour over a few days. Bradford is one of my favorite romance authors.
I am so happy for this 40 anniversary edition.
I gave it 4 stars and even if you have read it in the past grab a copy and reread it, you will be so happy that you did.
