A Saga Of Passion…Secrets…And Scandals
Americas Golden Age: After digging a fortune from the frozen fields of the Klondike, August Wolff heads south to the “Golden City,” hoping to put the unsolved disappearance of his wife and daughter behind him. Even more financial success follows, but the distractions of a hedonistic mecca can’t fill the gaping hole in his life.
Amelia Starling is a supremely talented artist caught in the straightjacket of Old New York society. Making a heart-breaking decision, she moves to San Francisco to further her career, all the while living with the pain of a sacrifice no woman should have to make. Brought together by the city’s flourishing art scene, Gus and Lia forge a rare connection. But the past, shrouded in mystery, prevents the two of them from moving forward as one. Unwilling to face society’s scorn, Lia leaves the city and vows to begin again in Europe.
The Golden City offers everything a man could wish for except the answers Gus is desperate to find. But find them he must, or he and Lia have no chance at all.

The Art of Love is Book One in A.B. Michaels’ historical fiction series “The Golden City.” Other titles in the series include The Depth of Beauty, The Promise, The Price of Compassion, Josephine’s Daughter, and The Madness of Mrs. Whittaker.
The story continues into present day with Michaels’ contemporary series “Sinner’s Grove Suspense,” featuring descendants of characters from “The Golden City.” Books include Sinner’s Grove, The Lair, and The Jade Hunters.
All of A.B. Michaels’ titles are stand-alone reads or can be read as part of a series (check out my Book Bundles).
Editorial Review:
“A.B. Michaels is a strong writer who has created compelling, flawed but very likeable characters. Even the more minor characters have interesting backstories and are just as driven and complicated as the main characters…I think romance readers will enjoy this book, and probably this series, but readers of historical fiction will also like The Art of Love. It’s also a quick read, mainly because once you start, you will not want to put it down.” – Sabrina Ricci, Digital Pubbing
What Readers are Saying:
“Loved the story and characters of old San Francisco. I felt pulled into their adventures and relationships. Ready for more.” – D. Moore (Amazon Review)
“One of life’s great pleasures is finding an author with a body of work that I can follow for a while to feed my appetite for reading. Often I find an author late in their career and I am sorry I missed seeing them sooner but I’m glad that I can binge on the backlog. A friend recommended A.B. Michael’s, The Art of Love. It grabbed me from the first page and had me staying up way too late to read just one more chapter, again and again. – Maureen (Goodreads Review)
“Five stars are just not enough. Pots of coffee and a box of tissues required. It is one of those stories you just can’t put it down. Congratulations on a fantastic book.” – Kay (Amazon Review)
“The story drew me in during the first chapter and had me staying up late to read ‘just one more chapter’ When I finished, I wanted more. There was hope however since the cover of the book says The Golden City #1.” – D. Gabriellini (Goodreads Review)
