Over six feet tall and square-shouldered, Norwin, the Earl of Kensall is beyond dispute extremely handsome and known to have an eye for the ladies.But when the beautiful young Sadira Bourne is told she is to marry him, she is appalled. Not only because she does not love him or even like him, but also because he has little regard for her and is actually in love with her stepmother, the Marchioness of Langbourne. The Earl only means to marry Sadira to save her stepmother’s reputation and indeed his after her husband discovered her affair and is intent on divorce, which would take a long time and cause a major Society scandal, which everyone involved in will suffer from.Wickedly the Marchioness gives Sadira little choice, threatening the lives of her beloved horse and dog and assuring her that she will besmirch Sadira’s name forever in the Social world.Refusing to marry a man she will never love, Sadira flees to Morocco to become a student of the famed Medical Missionary, Father Christopher. But little does she know how much her intelligence, sylph-like figure, striking blue eyes and ineffable beauty have entranced her forced fiancé.Or that he is setting out in his fine yacht to come to her rescue. And little does either the Earl or Saira know in what terrifying circumstances they will be together once more!

Author’s Note
Author’s NoteMankind has been entranced, fascinated and inspired by stars since the beginning of Civilisation. The Star of Bethlehem was symbolic of the human search not only for Faith but for Love. Today nearly every newspaper has columns on the stars, to guide people according to their birth date. Personally I put very little faith in these, as it is very complicated to work out how exactly the time one is born can be interpreted by the stars. Most of the astrologers, in my opinion, are wrong in what they predict. For instance Napoleon Bonaparte used astrologers and so did Hitler. They were neither of them told that it would be disastrous to go to Russia and if they did go to leave before the winter started in September. Napoleon lost half of his Army not to the Russian guns but to the weather. I can still remember the film that was shown of one hundred and fifty thousand of Hitler’s soldiers being taken prisoner, shivering in their summer uniforms, the tanks and guns grounded because the petrol and oil were frozen. Today the Japanese use the stars continually not just for personal advice but also for their monetary investments on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Their astrologers never told them that Pearl Harbour would eventually lead to Hiroshima. At the same time the fascination of the stars will go on. We will believe in our hearts that through the stars we will find the perfect Love which, whether they admit it or not, all human beings seek and which only a very few are privileged to find.
