It was like a dream come true. She had discovered laughter, luxury, and the love of her life. But then the nightmare started...When the fabulously wealthy Owen Salinger died, he left an inheritance to Laura Fairchild. But Laura already had a legacy - a secret from her past. And the Salingers used that legacy to destroy her life - and claim her inheritance. Laura didn't want revenge, she wanted the fruits of power, passion, worldly success - and her lost love regained. And so she built an empire - an empire that stretched from fashionable Boston to the fabulous haunts of the European jet-set. But the past is forever present - and the stakes are perilously high...
