Book Synopsis: From a scandal that rocked the throne of England to the summit of wealth and power in America Margaret Wilton - whose nightmare marriage to an aristocrat and exquisite alliance with a prince drove her to America with the two sons who were the legacy of her forbidden love. She had the pluck to plant the seeds of a business empire that would reap a fortune from automobiles, aviation, cattle and oil. John Wilton - stripped of his rank as an English officer, but keeping this iron strength and nerve intact as he carved out a ranching kingdom, making an heiress his wife, a madam his mistress, and his brother's wife his plaything. Thomas Wilton - who could manipulate gold but not flesh, as he multiplied dollars into millions, but fell victim to a woman who used him as her instrument of pleasure with countless other men. The Wiltons - a family too proud to bend to adversity in a saga that surges through six decades and three generations of tumultuous American life.
