The first in a multi-generational trilogy by mega-seller Penny Jordan is set in the decadent world of the silk industry. Dangerous liaisons! Skeletons in closets! A scandalous web of lies and deceit! The Pickfords are just your average family. 1920s Cheshire. A time of great glamour and decadence, high living and loose morality. A time where anything goes - and does. Amber Vrontsky is the heiress to the wealthy Pickford dynasty, presided over by the formidable Blanche. Obsessed with social climbing, Blanche wants nothing more for her granddaughter than a titled husband - a prize which she herself failed to secure, despite her immense wealth. But free spirited Amber is intent on forging her own artistic career with the silk she loves so much. Unable to disobey Blanche, however, she moves to society London to become a debutante - and enters a world of illicit affairs, drug-taking, gambling, lavender marriages! From the lavish decadence of society London to the opium dens of the Far East, the chic boutiques of Paris to the Nazi-controlled streets of Berlin, Silk spans the depravity and the glamour of this tumultuous time.

Penny Jordan, one of Harlequin's most popular authors, sadly passed
away on December 31, 2011. She leaves an outstanding legacy, having
sold over 100 million books around the world.
Penny wrote a total of 187 novels for Harlequin, including the
phenomenally successful A Perfect Family, To Love, Honor and
Betray, The Perfect Sinner and Power Play, which hit the New York
Times bestseller list.
Loved for her distinctive voice, she was successful in part because
she continually broke boundaries and evolved her writing to keep up
with readers' changing tastes. Publishers Weekly said about Jordan,
"Women everywhere will find pieces of themselves in Jordan's
characters." It is perhaps this gift for sympathetic
characterisation that helps to explain her enduring appeal.
‘The author has created a gripping, sexy storyline that will strike
a chord with all free-willed girls who are chasing their
dreams.’
