Synopsis

London, 1890

It is the last decade of the nineteenth century – a time of opulence, decadence, and, above all, style.

Art Nouveau is the latest fashion and it arouses a passionate response from Irene Lindsay, daughter of a famous Bond Street jeweller.

A trainee jeweller herself, and very much a ‘modern’ woman, she soon finds herself at odds with her traditional father.

She knows that she must break away from him and his past, to explore a free, brilliant and loving life of her own...

Her traineeship grants her a welcome taste of freedom outside the confinements of her family home and, encouraged by her stepmother Sofia, Irene is able to start honing her talents into beautiful gem stone work.

Whilst her mental and physical energies are fully concentrated on progressing in her craft, affairs of the heart also battle for centre stage, threatening to topple everything that she has worked so hard for.

Can Irene be truly successful in both her professional and private life?

Or will she be forced to choose between her head and her heart?

Best-selling author Rosalind Laker’s unforgettable romance moves from London to Paris and the splendours of Monte Carlo, as we follow one woman’s search for her true fulfilment.
