For fans of HBOâs The Gilded Age, explore the dazzling world of Americaâs 19th century elite in this lush series of sparkling, page-turning love storiesâĻ
New York Cityâs Gilded Age shines as bright as the power-wielding men of the Knickerbocker Club. And one pragmatic industrialist is about to learn that a man may make his own destiny, but love is a matter of fortune . . .
Born into one of New Yorkâs most respected families, William Sloane is a railroad baron who has all the right friends in all the right places. But no matter how much success he achieves, he always wants more. Having secured his place atop the cityâs highest echelons of society, heâs now setting his sights on a political run. Nothing can distract him from his next pursuitâexcept, perhaps, the enchanting con artist he never saw coming . . .
Â
Ava Jones has eked out a living the only way she knows how. As âMadame Zolikoff,â she hoodwinks gullible audiences into believing she can communicate with the spirit world. But her carefully crafted persona is nearly destroyed when Will Sloane walks into her lifeâand lays bare her latest scheme. The charlatan is certain she can seduce the handsome millionaire into keeping her secret and using her skills for his campaignâunless heâs the one whoâs already put a spell on her . . .
