All three high-stakes romantic suspense books in Monica McCabe's Jewel Intrigue series are collected together in one. The omnibus includes Diamond Legacy, Emerald Fire, and Phantom Pearl.

Per Guy de Maupassant il letto è tutta la nostra vita, perché ci nasciamo, ci facciamo all'amore e ci moriamo. E intorno al letto, luogo dei nostri segreti e dei nostri sentimenti più forti, Mario Baudino costruisce un colto itinerario sui piaceri che la posizione orizzontale invita a cullare. Da Ulisse ai giorni nostri, passando per Proust e Mark Twain, il dottor Johnson o il Re Sole, il letto è una scena teatrale almeno quanto è custode di segreti, in una ricca rassegna tra letteratura, arte e storia.
