Paula must act with daring and courage to preserve her formidable grandmother’s glittering empire from unscrupulous enemies – so that Emma’s precious dream lives on for the next generation…

I much enjoyed how this family saga was further developed with new characters and the continuing lives of this intertwined family. The reading of it was very professional and satisfying.

A satisfying conclusion to the Emma Harte Trilogy!
