Beyond All Frontiers — Emma Drummond

She was seventeen, shy and naive, a proper Victorian gentlewoman imprisoned in what she believed was a loveless marriage. But Charlotte Scott was seduced by a land of endless, breathtaking magnificence...monsoons, mountains, sari-clad natives--the whole grand panorama of imperial British India. Then she met a man, a dashing, charming man, whose taunts she could not refuse and who led her to a breach in propriety as treacherous as the battle-torn Khyber Pass. It is on the awesome terrain of the Afghan border, with its cold peaks and shimmering deserts, that Charlotte must discover her true destiny, become a woman of boundless valor, and learn to fight triumphantly for a man she feels worthy to love!
