Produktbeschreibung

Ensnared in a murder, can a Hawaiian sugar heiress and a scandal-ridden French vintner uncover a deadly conspiracy before it's too late?

Resolute plantation owner Leilani Manolo must secure a sugar deal for her family business or face ruin. But when San Francisco's most influential import agent dies in her arms, the victim of a murderous street attack, she uncovers an ancient vendetta which threatens her life as well as her family's future.

French vintner Aristide Laurent is desperate to avoid more scandal. Craving the prestigious contest win needed to get his vintages into New York and Paris restaurants, he can't afford to involve himself with the stunning Hawaiian accused of murder. But despite his best efforts, he finds himself ensnared in her affairs.

Implicated in the killing and driven to save her family's livelihood, Leilani digs deep into a complex conspiracy. And although Aristide endeavors to help, he's forced to fight for his career when his good name is threatened by a shady cabal.

Will their struggles to succeed lead them to a tragic end, or can they find a happily ever after?

Autorenporträt

Jenny Wheeler is convinced there is no better time than now to be a woman, but if she was faced with making a second choice it would be 1860's California the setting for her historical mystery series Of Gold & Blood.

Nearly twenty years after the 1849 Gold Rush brought thousands upon thousands of (mainly) men into California on the greatest adventure of their lives, the energy, the thirst for excitement remained, but the rough frontier had become a maritime colony; "urban, cosmopolitan, and resembling nothing else in the Far West," (Kevin Starr, Americans and the California Dream, 1850 1915. Oxford University Press.) A place where women had the chance to pursue their dreams with more freedom than (arguably) anywhere else in the civilized world.

Jenny loves the stories that came to be spun from the region that was "the cutting edge of the American dream," (Kevin Starr again) and she's busily creating those stories with as much passion as those '49ers chased after gold nuggets!
