Beautiful, brilliant, independent, she had it allâuntil she met the one man who couldnât play by her rules
Peach de CourmontâWild child, teenage temptress, exquisite woman.  The adored granddaughter of Leonie and heiress to the de Courmont dynasty, she grew up in luxury, used to having lifeâand loveâon her own terms.
Noel MaddoxâRaised in an Iowa orphanage, used to the mean streets of Detroit, he fought his way from the assembly line the pinnacle of power.  Peach âand the automobile empire she commandedâwere part of the dream he meant to have . . . at any price.
From wartime Paris to the dazzling Cote dâAzue . . . from the frenetic boardrooms of Detroit and the palatial homes of Grosse Pointe to the stately English countryside, their indomitable wills collide in a saga of consuming passion and raw power played out against the backdrop of a rich and reckless world.
