About this title

From the Back Cover:

New York Times bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford has captivated millions of readers with her sweeping saga of power, wealth, and family secrets. Now the legacy of matriarch Emma Harte lives in one woman's inspiring challenge to be the best...

DRIVEN BY LOVE
Paula McGill O'Neill learned the lessons of success from the master―merchant princess Emma Harte, her grandmother, her teacher, her idol. Left to Paula, the legacy of Emma's international empire still thrives as the strong-willed heiress wields control with hard-earned compassion―and well-earned suspicion of every secret threat.

INSPIRED BY SUCCESS
Blessed grandchild, super-wife, and loving mother, Paula has one desire―to keep her grandmother's visionary dream alive, and through sacrifice and ambition carve out an empire of her own. But every move has been shadowed by two families whose fortunes are intertwined with hers―and by an unscrupulous blood enemy moving in for the kill...

CHALLENGED BY BETRAYAL
Once banished from the family fold, Paula's cousin Jonathan has emerged from the darkness to wrest control of everything he wants―and destroy all that Paula has fought for. Now, sweeping across the world, and testing her most intimate fears and emotions, Paula's struggle to safeguard her happiness and her family's future becomes her ultimate challenge.

"A novel for everyone...A satisfying, lushly detailed saga."
