Fascination — Leona Blair

"Blair takes us behind the closed doors of the Victorian era" (Booklist) in this grand drama of passion and ambition.  Fascination unfolds aboard a sumptuous ocean liner bound for England, where three elegant women vie for the attention of magnetically handsome widower Senator Steven James.  They are beautiful society wife Miranda Cunningham, her spoiled niece Cynthia--off to Europe to catch a titled husband--and Kitt McAllister, a redheaded firebrand eager to see the world.

From New York to London to Cairo, this is a novel of glamour and grandeur, of women breaking free from high society's conventions, and of wayward desires that can damn a woman to ruin--unless she finds the strength to resist the allure of Fascination.
