This week's it's three covers instead of one. Sons of Fortune was the cover that first caught my eyes. But, they all look so good, especially together (would look very nice at home with me btw) so this week I will have four Cover Crushes instead of one!

Together with their friends, the Thorntons—who are troubled by a marriage mismatched in passion—they are willing to risk any dare, commit themselves to any act of cunning on their climb from rags to riches.

At a time when fabulous fortunes could be made through the will of a strong man or the wiles of a beautiful woman, the driving ambitions of the Stevensons finally bring them to the center of dazzling power and position. But their fate becomes more and more entwined with that of their friends, the Thorntons—repressed and pious Arabella and secretive, sex-obsessed Walter—as whispers of scandal and disgrace threaten to bring them all to ruin.
The gripping third novel in the classic Stevenson family saga from epic master Malcolm Macdonald, often listed among the best series in historical fiction.
As the saga continues, the Stevensons are now one of the richest families in the world. John, recalling his lowly past, wants his children to obey to the letter and never put a foot wrong.

As they test the temptations of the adult world, the lure of profit and pleasure bring the risk of disaster and disgrace, and the tensions threaten to pull the family apart.
