A classic story about finding love with all its joy - and all its risks.
It's the year before Hong Kong's reversion to Chinese control - a year of danger, betrayal . . . and romance. Allison Whitaker and Maylene Kwan are two sisters who don't even know of each other's existence - until fate brings them together for the first time.
Against the backdrop of the magnificent Jade Palace Hotel, a meeting place for Hong Kong's elite, the two sisters meet not only each other, but also two extraordinary men: the aristocratic and powerful James Drake with whom Allison falls in love, and Sam Coulter, the Texan builder who captures Maylene's heart. Together they become embroiled in a tale of international suspense, financial rivalry and family secrets . . .
