When Grace Monarch was five years old her mother fled with her. Madeline had always had The Sight and she was terrified of what she saw. The only good thing that she did in her life was have Grace and be a mother to her and Madeline will do anything to protect her. Even run from the family who has sworn to kill her to keep Grace in the family. For she has The Gift, which passes down only to the female members of the family and makes the reputation of jewlery making at Monarchs legendary.
Twenty years have passed since Skye Dearborn was in Chicago. She has no recollection however, but she is esatic to be offered a job as a designer at Monarchs. She has always admired the work done by the famous jeweler and is happy to finally seemed to have found her niche in life. She can't shake the feeling of abandonment though, by everyone that she ever loved. First there was her mother, who dissapeard in the middle of the night and never came back. Then there was Chance. She met Chance when she was twelve in the carnival that her and her mother were traveling with. Chance was there when her mother didn't return and Chance became her family. Then Chance left her too and Skye knew that she would never again risk getting her heartbroken by longing for a family. Then she meets Griffin Monarch who makes her believe again. The more she is with Griffin, the more she wants him to want her forever. Still, she can't shake the creepy feeling, the feeling of wrongness in being with him, the feeling that it isn't right.

Chance McCord has finally made it to the big time. He has opened his own Public Relations firm and has an impressive client list after six months in business, thanks to Griffin Monarch. Griffin is the type of person that Chance always wanted to be like. Rich, successful, charming. When he meets the new lady in Griffin's life, he is shocked. For his bratty Skye has turned into a beautiful and desirable woman. One that is off limits. Then strange things start happening and Chance realizes that something is off. When he realizes that Skye is in danger of losing her life, he realized that his love for her as a child changed to love for a woman and he will risk anything to save that love.

Fortune is an entralling tale that will leave you breatless. It will at times sicken you and make you cry as Spindler takes the reader through the ups and downs of the years from being a teenager to being an adult with secrets that you can't remember.
