Bride of Gold

What if everything you believed was a lie? Why is everyone afraid of the truth?


When a lonely young American woman inherits a painting, she discovers her whole life was a deception. Desperate for the truth, she goes in search of her true identity.

The painting is her only clue. But everyone is determined to keep its secret past repressed, including Vitaliano Rossi, the Italian gold tycoon.

Unnaturally suspicious of her motives, he wants the painting- and Alex- vanquished. How can she discover who she really is and convince him that his love means more to her than gold?

Three women. Three lives. And the lies that bind them.

Set amongst the stunning backdrop of New Zealand's South Island. If you love stories set in New Zealand, against a sensuous backdrop of art you'll love Bride of Gold.
