LoveMakers — Judith Gould

It was the world's most luxurious hotel empire - a monument to the ruthless determination of four generations of women who counted no cost in the drive of their ambition.

Elizabeth - fragile and vulnerable on the surface, diamond-hard beneath, whose struggle to bring up her children in New York never caused her to lose sight of her dream . . .

Charlotte -- sensuality's slave, who deserted her family for an Italian prince, only to find her ecstasy turned to nightmare in war-torn Italy . . .

Anna - orphaned, anonymous, unaware of her noble heritage who followed a path of gold from the ashes of World War II

Dorothy - poor little rich girl, target of her father's bitterness, whose multi-million dollar legacy made her powerful, desirable, ultimately invincible.

Four stunning women, four passionate lives; four patterns of success.
