Warren Wood is handsome, loyal and devoted to Magnolia. However, the one thing he lacks is a title and Magnolia betrays him in a heartbeat for the opportunity to be engaged to the Marquis of Buckwood.

For beautiful and beguiling as she is, behind her perfect exterior lies a scheming manipulative personality that is desperate for wealth and standing in Society.

Distraught and vowing to eschew love for evermore, Warren seeks solace in the African jungle, determined to forget the woman whose lovely face has nearly driven him to madness.

But now the wheel of fate has turned and suddenly a legacy is calling him home to take up responsibilities he never dreamt would be his, and the chance to be reunited with Magnolia who surprisingly begs his forgiveness.

Determined not to answer her siren’s call, he leaves for England taking with him the sweet but mysterious Nadia, another young person desperate to leave behind the past. Together they concoct a charade that should free Warren from Magnolia’s clutches and offer Nadia a new life.

As the time for Warren to meet Magnolia again grows closer, he begins to feel nervous. Will he be able to resist the seductive charms of the woman he once loved to distraction? For above all else Magnolia is determined to marry well and she is not going to let a little thing like Warren’s heart stand in her way.

Author’s Note
Author’s NoteThe reign of Czar Alexander III of Russia opened with a persecution of the Jews that was unequalled until fifty years later, when Adolf Hitler assumed power in Germany. The Czar ordered that one third of the Jews in the country must die, one third emigrate and one third assimilate. This appalling programme resulted in thousands of Jews being murdered and their property confiscated, while 225,000 desolate Jewish families left Russia for Western Europe. In 1892 the Emperor’s brother, the Grand Duke Serge, evicted thousands of Jewish artisans and small traders from Moscow. Cossacks surrounded their quarters in the middle of the night while police ransacked every home, driving the unhappy people out of their beds. Classed as criminals, they were forced along the roads to nowhere. In the summer of 1894 it was announced that Alexander III was suffering from dropsy, the result of kidney damage he had suffered in a train disaster. Desperately ill and shrunken to half his size, he lingered on until finally dying on 11 November. His son Nicolas II, whom the Prince of Wales once described as ‘weak as water’, reigned until 1917. The following year the Bolsheviks assassinated him and his family.
