Paula O'Neill, beloved granddaughter of the legendary Emma Harte and the guardian of her vast business empire, believes that everything Emma left to the family is secure. Beneath the surface, however, sibling rivalry and discontent flare. Her daughters, Linnet and Tessa, are as different as they can be, and one of them desperately wants the empire to be hers. Into this volatile mix walks Evan Hughes, a young American fashion designer looking for Emma Harte. But Emma has been dead for thirty years, and Evan bears an uncanny resemblance to Paula O'Neill.
