The daughter of a wealthy, ambitious man, Rowena knew her father longed to marry her to a man with a title—preferably the Duke of Wenfield, whom she disliked. To avoid marriage, they hatched a plot. Posing as brother and sister, they would take a trip on a yacht with their like-minded friends and would help each other find the love of their dreams.

But not everything went according to plan. While sailing on the Mediterranean, Rowena was kidnapped by a sultan and imprisoned in his harem. It seemed she and the duke would be parted forever. How the duke rescued her, and how they found their true love, is all told in this exciting and romantic novel by Barbara Cartland.
