About this ebook

In the glittering world of early twentieth-century society, new money and old aristocracy collide as American millionaire Lewis S. Palmer and his flamboyant wife take London by storm. When the impoverished but titled Bertie Keynes seeks a wealthy American bride to restore his family fortune, he finds himself caught between genuine affection for Palmer's daughter Amelie and the painful memory of an earlier passion. Against the backdrop of transatlantic social ambition, Bertie and Amelie must navigate family expectations, cultural differences, and personal betrayals. Meanwhile, the formidable American actress Dorothy Emsworth holds secrets that could destroy their chance at happiness. As railways and coal mines transform the ancestral estates of England, the characters discover that love and integrity may be the only bulwark against the relentless tide of progress and wealth.
