Gilt

A luxurious and richly compelling new novel from the acclaimed author of Blush, about a famous family jewelry dynasty and the hidden past that could topple it all.

One perfect diamond ring. Three divided sisters. And the summer that changes everything.


The Pavlin family built an empire on love. As the first jewelers to sell diamond rings exclusively for proposals, they started a tradition that has defined engagements ever since. But when an ill-fated publicity stunt pits the three Pavlin sisters against one another for a prized family jewel, their bond is broken; with one sister dead, a little girl orphaned, and the remaining women blaming each other.


Now, decades later, a lost Pavlin heiress returns to claim what should have been hers. From Manhattan's tony Fifth Avenue to the vibrant shores of Cape Cod, the Pavlin women are forced to confront the mistakes of the past if they have any hope of finding love and happiness of their own.
