Book excerpt: "Which one of you bitches is my mother?" Four elegant, successful, and sophisticated women in their forties are called to New York's Pierre Hotel to meet Lili -- a beautiful, young, and notoriously temperamental Hollywood movie star. None of the women knows exactly why she is there; each has a reason to hate Lili and each of them is astonished to see the others. They are old friends who share a guilty secret and who have for years been doing their best to keep that secret quiet. Their lives are changed forever, however, when Lili suddenly confronts them. When the women refuse to answer her, Lili proceeds to travel around the world through the playgrounds of the rich and famous, seeking to answer the question that has obsessed and almost destroyed her. From Paris to London, from the boardroom to the bedroom, Lace takes the reader into the rarified world of five unforgettable women who are as beautiful, as complex and as strong as...lace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lace, like silver or porcelain, can be classified by type and its date and place of origin often can be identified. But in the absence of marks giving maker or date, lace must be judged on its technical features and style. This new edition gathers fascinating and useful information in an easy to read and well-organised text covering needlepoint laces, embroideries, lace knitting and tatting, and bobbin laces made in Europe from the 16th century forward, including 19th century revivals. Each type is described and illustrated with hundreds of photographs and line drawings to show the technical characteristics and particular regard to the way one lace compares with another. A glossary, notes on cleaning, care, and conservation, and a price guide make this an essential reference for lace makers, designers, and lace collectors alike.

Follow Pearl's story of betrayal, damnation, and redemption, as she struggles to overcome her situation and growing feelings for her captor, Crow. I owe him a debt. A big one. The payment can't be settled with money or favors. He only wants one thing. Me. Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with three hundred and sixty-five buttons, he'll let me go. He'll let me walk away. But I have to earn every single one. By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I've ever known. "5 dark ★★★★★s! Pearl clearly has gone through hell and more... this story is so breathtaking !!!! I am awed by her defiance, gallantry, and great fortitude! As far as Crow is concerned, under his savageness, there are shreds of compassion and humanity" -Goodreads Reviewer "Haunting, disturbing, emotionally tormenting and oh so dark! I loved Pearl's strength and bravery. I got lost in Crow's complexity and fell in love with the man behind the mask. Being a fan of the dark, this definitely ticked all the right boxes for me." -Goodreads Reviewer "I read A LOT of books and this series will always be my favorite. Crow and Pearl. I fell in love with both of them. Penelope Sky knows how to develop her characters and does it very well. The story never gets boring. This would make a great mini-series for television!" -Amazon Reviewer "Good golly, Miss Molly! At first, I was apprehensive about reading this book, but ... it is truly a work of art. When I find a book that's this good I end up staying awake till 4 in the morning because I just can't put it away till my hubby makes me. This book makes you a little stronger and gives worth to the reason why you should never stop fighting for yourself. I would recommend it to anyone." -Amazon Reviewer Trigger Warning: Not for the faint of heart.
