Description

From the first time Laura and Marco lock eyes in a Paris cafe, fires are lit. Powerful Brazilian Coffee Grower MARCO DE MENDONÇA III, loves LAURA HARRINGTON but must marry the bride chosen by his father. He sires three children whose sense of family is vastly different from his. Eldest son PAULO disavows coffee growing to become a Formula One Race Car Driver. Younger son TONIO is banished to Europe to end his affair with the Stable Manager’s daughter. Daughter SOFIA offers promiscuity so embarrassing that Marco sends her to America where she leads a Lesbian lifestyle.

Marco’s business partner, Sugar Baron ALFREDO DE CARMOÇA, loses three sons in a tragic accident then sires twins which end the de Carmoça lineage. RODOLFO struggles from boyhood to deny his homosexual feelings and when Alfredo ships him off to Paris, twin sister RENATA follows. Although betrothed to Paulo de Mendonça, Renata falls in love with Archaeologist Kameron van Horton.

LAURA HARRINGTON returns from Paris brokenhearted over Marco and finds she is pregnant. Over thirty years later Marco and Laura meet again in a soul searing confrontation over custody of his dead son Paulo’s child, and the fuse is set for explosions that could rock the status quo of all three families when he learns he has a son conceived in Paris and never revealed to him… Laura’s son KAMERON VAN HORTON.
