Bijoux
Her name is synonymous with elegance and beauty. She is Jewel Prescott, whose internationally famous jewelry designs have placed her among the ranks of Tiffany, Cartier and Bulgari.

I've read this ages ago and I still remember what happened when.
This is really a page-turner, every turn has glamour and power. This novel proves that women can be powerful when they want to be and nothing can ever keep them from doing what they want. Not even family or friends. This entails a journey of a broken girl and used every inch of anything there is to get where she wanted to be.
