5.0 out of 5 stars From the back cover...., 22 July 2007
This review is from: The Fortune (Paperback)
Sixty-four-year-old Arthur Bannerman had status, power, and a half billion dollars of family money. Then, one night, in a New York City brownstone, he died while making love to a 24 year old woman. The girl was an unknown, a pretty mid-westerner, named Alexa Walden -- and Bannerman's secret bride.

Now tainted with scandal and pitted against the powerful and privileged world of the New York rich, this innocent young woman must fight the entire Bannerman dynasty: ELEANOR, the iron-willed matriarch who knows all the family secrets; ROBERT, the charming, ambitious son who can use both sex and violence against Alexa; and CECILIA, Arthur's daughter, haunted by a legacy of sin and greed. Far from Arthur's original plans, all have their own dreams and schemes. . . as Alexa discovers for herself the burdens -- and dangers -- of the fortune.
