Evan Hughes, Emma's American great-granddaughter, is trying to integrate into the powerful Harte family. She is caught between her estranged parents, her new family, and new love. But a dangerous enemy hovers in the background.
Tessa Longden, Evan's cousin, is battling her husband for custody of their daughter, Adele. When Adele suddenly goes missing, Tessa is forced to seek help from her half-sister Linneta woman who has been her rival all their lives.
Linnet, the most brilliant businesswoman of the four great-granddaughters, is desperately trying to show that she is the natural heir to her mother, Paula. But her glittering future at the helm of the vast Harte empire means many sacrifices, perhaps even the loss of her sisters fragile trust.
India Standish, the traditionalist in the family, falls in love with a famous British artist from a working-class background. Madly in love, India is determined to marry him, no matter what her family thinks.
Evan, Tessa, Linnet, and India: four extraordinary women. Three generations of Hartes. One indomitable family whose loyalty binds them together and whose enemies want to tear them apart.

The new blockbuster from one of the world's greatest storytellers delves into the lives of Emma Harte - the original Woman of Subtance - and the ambitious, passionate and volatile women of the next generation.
"Well written and full of emotion..completely riveting." Miami New Times
Larry H. (The sequel to other books about the life of Emma Harte, even though the story is somewhat unreal, it's fun to read about a successful woman's life even if it's just fiction.
I enjoyed the family ties and the mystery in this book. A dood one to read on a cold day in front of the fire.
Evan, Tessa, Linnet & India four remarkable women.
This is the first of this series I have read. I plan to read the rest as soon as I finish all the other books I have.
Millions of readers will remember Emma Harte, the staunch lady introduced in Bradford's hugely successful A Woman Of Substance. We now meet her decedents, all born into wealth, all facing life altering situations.
India, much to the chagrin of her family, has fallen for an artist from not so privileged parents. Evan, another of Emma's great-granddaughters is an American who crosses the ocean to work for Harte's department store. What a shock to discover that her father was not precisely who she believed him to be.
And, there's still more woe to come: Tessa is enmeshed in a custody battle for her daughter who seems to have disappeared, and Linnet, the business woman of the group, must learn that she can't have it all.
Someone, somewhere is trying to harm all of these women. The question is who and why?
