For Richer For Poorer A Novel

#1 New York Times Bestseller — Danielle Steel delivers a captivating portrait of resilience, family, and second chances in this emotionally charged novel about a fashion designer navigating the storms of business and love.

Eugenia Ward has built an empire. After years designing for Oscar de la Renta, she launched her own line at forty—and became a powerhouse in evening gowns, wedding dresses, and haute couture. But fourteen years later, the fashion industry is in freefall, and Eugenia is fighting to save everything she’s built. With investors scarce and Fashion Week looming, she needs a miracle.

As if running a struggling business weren’t enough, Eugenia is the anchor for her five adult children. This summer, the family gathers at their beach house where wedding plans spiral out of control, twins are about to arrive, and tensions simmer beneath the surface. Eugenia has been steering this ship solo since divorcing her extravagant Italian prince husband over a decade ago.

Enter Patrick Hughes—a real estate developer with his own troubles and a yacht where Eugenia finds unexpected solace. Their friendship sparks something new: the possibility of a life beyond motherhood and business. But as the wedding approaches, money runs tight, family drama peaks, and a literal hurricane threatens the horizon.

Steel’s signature blend of glamour and heart shines in this story of a woman who refuses to break, no matter how fierce the storm. For Richer For Poorer is an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to rebuild—or to fall in love again.
