Silk And Splendour

Silk and Splendour (1986)
Ellen Tanner Marsh · Avon Books · Paperback

Exotic ports. Forbidden passion. Dangerous ambition.

In Silk and Splendour, Ellen Tanner Marsh spins a richly embroidered historical romance that sweeps from the teeming markets of Canton to the candlelit parlours of Boston. At its heart is Jessica Howard, a fiercely independent American woman determined to carve out a future in the lucrative—and male-dominated—world of silk trade. But when she crosses paths with the enigmatic Nicholas Brandon, a sea captain with secrets as dark as the China Seas, desire and deception become hopelessly entwined.

Smuggled cargo, imperial intrigues, and a love that defies convention—Crappy Old Books has dusted off this lush, globe-trotting epic for your reading pleasure. Expect creased spines, yellowed pages, and sheer romantic excess. A perfect find for fans of velvety prose, high-stakes love, and vintage Avon covers where the heroine’s hair flows freer than international trade.
