Overview

Victoria Washington--sophisticated and elegant, owner of Victoria's House of Fashion, designer of haute couture gowns for the wealthy and elite of Denver, a brilliant and successful business woman in her own right. Tory, as she is known to her friends, is also a supporter of Palmer House--a most extraordinary refuge for young women rescued from prostitution.

Why a friend to Palmer House?

The girls of Palmer House were rescued from two houses of ill-repute situated in the little mountain village Corinth above Denver. Through no fault of her own, Tory was one of those girls. And Tory's past hides more than one dark secret: She was born in the deep South to Adeline Washington, a negress, the daughter and granddaughter of slaves, and the "kept" woman of a wealthy--and married--white man.

Tory's mixed blood, her illegitimate birth, and the shame of her exploitation follow her down the mountain and haunt her, even to the cusp of her success.

What happens when those who hate Tory expose her secrets? Will her business and reputation survive the scandals? Or are the rumors a cover for a more sinister plot? Is Tory's life also in danger? And, if so, why?
