About the book
To be alone with him was all Vivian desired. To feel Jimmy Loring's lips on hers, to hear his tender words of love was a dream of ecstasy. Then one night, as they stood together in the shadows of a summer-hous in Monte Carlo, she knew his love was hers no more. Before she could recover from her shock or summon the breath to speak, she sensed another's pressence somewhere in teh quiet garden. A mystery man whom she could no see, but whose voice urged her to keep a secret. That secret would sweep her half way round the world on a perilous rendezvous with love!
