Scents
Kingsley, Johanna
Once in a great while a novel comes along, so rich in human emotion and glamorous excitement that it remains unforgettable.

SCENTS is such a novel. From '20s Paris to modern New York, from rooming houses to penthouses, SCENTS sweeps through two generations of dangerous secrets, glamorous desires, and boundless ambition.

They knew their power, their money, their men. But they did not know each other...
They were the fabulous Jolays, half-sisters, bound by blood but not by love. Daughters of an outstanding French perfumer whose world had collapsed, now they are bitter rivals, torn apart by their personal quests for power. Luminous Vie, tide ice goddess many men desired but few possessed, the bold genius who parlayed a childhood dream into a fragrance empire. And Marty, dark and sensual, a brilliant rebel who used her body and her mind to achieve the only thing she ever truly desired--recognition.

Through the long years of poverty to those of dazzling success, their bitter rivalry grew. It was Vie who created an empire, but it was Marty who was determined to control it. No matter what the cost, she would conquer Vie's glittering world and claim it as her own.
