Palace of the Pomegranate — Violet Winspear

On the face of it, Grace Wilde had every-thing -- youth, beauty, wealth, and a title. All that goes to make up the life of a society queen was hers; only one thing was lacking -- happiness.

For the gay society life was none of her seeking; she had been coerced into a love-less, meaningless marriage with the uncaring, unfaithful Tony Wilde. And then, on an expedition into the Persian desert, she fell into the hands of another man, Kharim Khan, who was different from any other man she had met.

Would he succeed in melting the ice that was Grace's heart? And even if he did, how could she expect ever to be of any importance to him?

Hero: Kharim Khan
Heroine: Grace Wilde
