Rhys Brandon s total selfishness affects everyone he knows, especially his daughter, Georgia, and Connor MacKenzie, who received many of the privileges of the son Rhys wanted, but is still regarded as the son of a servant. Separated from Connor, Georgia marries a French marquis in 1925, designs silk fabrics, and proves a successful businesswoman. Connor becomes a hero in three wars, a wealthy manipulator on Wall Street, and a loyal friend. Their love story is sublimated to the battle between the two men, good and evil incarnate. Connor, having raised himself to powerful wealth, is superhuman, heroic, and magnanimous. Rhys is conniving, malevolent, and imperious. Blair has written another interesting saga with best-seller ingredients all in place: lots of sex and wickedness and a love story with a hero women can fantasize about.
