The first in a multi-generational trilogy by mega-seller Penny
Jordan is set in the decadent world of the silk industry. Dangerous
liaisons... Skeletons in closets... A scandalous web of lies and
deceit... The Pickfords are just your average family. 1920s
Cheshire. A time of great glamour and decadence, high living and
loose morality. A time where anything goes - and does. Amber
Vrontsky is the heiress to the wealthy Pickford dynasty, presided
over by the formidable Blanche. Obsessed with social climbing,
Blanche wants nothing more for her granddaughter than a titled
husband - a prize which she herself failed to secure, despite her
immense wealth. But free spirited Amber is intent on forging her
own artistic career with the silk she loves so much. Unable to
disobey Blanche, however, she moves to society London to become a
debutante - and enters a world of illicit affairs, drug-taking,
gambling, lavender marriages... From the lavish decadence of
society London to the opium dens of the Far East, the chic
boutiques of Paris to the Nazi-controlled streets of Berlin, Silk
spans the depravity and the glamour of this tumultuous time. Spoil
yourself with this dazzling, decadent treat by international
multi-million-copy selling Penny Jordan - the ultimate read for
fans of Danielle Steel and Penny Vincenzi.
Twice the scandal Prince Jaul of Marwan's royal duty is to marry a

one passionate night in England had its consequences: two, to be
precise. Out of the blue he turns up on Ruby Wareham's doorstep-to
take his twin sons back to Greece! Afraid of losing her boys, Ruby
agrees to a deal, but can she wed a virtual stranger, and live as
his wife, and in his bed? * Midwife Freya MacFadden has stuck to
night shifts since she was injured in an attack. But a hospital
costume ball offers her the chance to hide her scars, and, lost in
the moment, she seizes a passionate encounter with a handsome
stranger. Leaving her pregnant...with his twins! Until the stranger
turns out to be desert prince Jameel Al Bakhari!
