Gwyneth Evans was an extraordinary woman, with beauty as well as brains, dreams as well as determination.

And once she set her fiery eyes on the handsome aristocrat Benjamin Whisten, she knew he was the one she wanted. As heir to a vast fortune, he was her key to the exclusive Maine Line, with its magnificent estates, rolling lawns, private stables and terraced gardens. That he was married and had a son made it a delicate affair. But by using the right combinations of passion and mystery, encouragement and denial, the exquisite redhead knew she could make any man fall in love with her. Ben was no exception.

From the opulence of Paris to the glamor of New York, from the hardships of the Great Depression to the savagery of Nazi Germany, spans three generations -- and won a remarkable woman an unforgettable dynasty.
