The Explorer — Frances Parkinson Keyes

ROMANCE--ADVENTURE--PASSION
surge through this dramatic novel of a famous explorer, his quest for an exotic "lost city" high in the Andes--and the woman he left behind.

When the handsome and celebrated Nicolas Hale asked the lovely and lonely lady from Virginia to marry him he had no thought of love. His marriage to Margaret would be primarily for convenience...and to provide him with an heir.

For Margaret the arrangement was equally convenient...until she found herself caught up in a passion she never knew existed...and discovered that Nicolas, too, had stumbled into her flaming world of love.
