Tree of Gold

Tree of Gold

â€˜Filled with rich period detail...â€™ - Booklist

In the aftermath of the French Revolution, Lyons is re-establishing its reputation as silk capital of the world.

Gabrielle Roche, daughter of the infamous Maison Roche silk house, is constantly at odds with her dominating father regarding her place as a woman in the family business.

On the fateful day of Gabrielleâ€™s loveless marriage of convenience to Ã‰mile Valmont, her path crosses that of Nicolas Devaux, the son of her fatherâ€™s greatest enemy.

It is an encounter that will change forever the course of both their young lives â€” for it ignites an unquenchable passion between them.

A battle begins in her heart between her love for Nicolas and promises to Ã‰mile which mirrors Napoleanâ€™s interminable wars to conquer Europe.

It is impossible for Gabrielle to avoid Nicolas as the Maisons Roche and Devaux compete fiercely for the honour of adorning the Emperorâ€™s campaign tents and palaces.

Their physical attraction is fuelled further by the excitement of business rivalry which governs the heart of the silk industry.

Separated by their families and by the bonds of matrimony, still Gabrielle and Nicolasâ€™s love will not be suppressed.

Even the carnage of Napoleonâ€™s war to conquer Europe cannot keep them apart â€¦

Tree of Gold is a heart-wrenching and passionate historical romance set in a Europe at war.
