Tawny Sands — Violet Winspear

Considering that she was an orphan with no background and no special aptitude for any-thing, Janna Smith seemed to be doing very nicely for herself, here on the glamorous Cote d'Azur as secretary/companion to a well-known lady author. But for secretary/ companion, read dogsbody, Janna thought bitterly when her employer was being more than usually temperamental and unkind.

All the same, did it really seem likely that Janna was doing anything to improve her situation by turning to a man of the world like Don Raul Cesar de Romanos as a way of escape? For Don Raul was also Raul Cesar Bey, grandson and heir of a Moorish Princess; his home was the Oasis of El Amara, and he wanted Janna to accompany him there as his pseudo-fiancee.

Wasn't she being incredibly foolish to launch herself into such an Arabian Nights situation?

Hero: Don Raul Cesar de Romanos
