That’s about all we get out of life, rich or poor, isn’t it, a few hours of enjoyment here and there? I think it is folly to allow a single chance for pleasure to slip past you.—Aimée Crocker, 1911

From the acclaimed author of The Arctic Fury and The Magician’s Lie

Tearing through millions of dollars, four continents, and a hearty collection of husbands, real-life heiress Aimée Crocker blazed an unbelievable trail of public notoriety, private pain, and the kind of strong independent woman the 1880s had never seen.

Her life was stranger than fiction and brighter than the stars, and she whirled through her days as if she was being chased. Greer Macallister brilliantly takes us into a world you won’t soon forget.

“A whirlwind tour of the life and loves of the incomparable Aimée Crocker. Macallister deftly captures the raucous, devil-may-care attitude of a woman who wasn’t afraid of scandal, while also beautifully depicting her more vulnerable side—especially when it came to matters of the heart. A truly wonderful read.”—Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Spectacular
