For they shall have prosperity, but neither joy nor peace.............
Such is the cruel legacy that has plagued the strong, wilful Templeton women since the eighteenth century. The year is 1986, Minerva Templeton, domineering matriarch of Templeton Tea, must surrender the reigns of the empire to one of her heirs.

The most beloved of these is her granddaughter Delilah, who finds herself pitted against her old lover Travis as each tries to win Minervas approval.

Watching Delilah, wanting her, is silent and steadfast Nick. But can she ever love him as intensely as she once loved his brother.

Smouldering with secrets and forbidden passion Leaves of Fortune is a fast paced, compelling story that takes you behind the scenes of a vast business empire and into the lives of the spirited women who live and love in its shadows.
