Andre de Saint-Simon has no use for Ali, the mysterious, young woman whose life he has saved while on his travels. When he discovers that she is the long-lost daughter of his mentor, he promptly returns her to England—and tries to forget about her. Ali knows that Andre is her destiny, and so she arranges his marriage—to herself. As Andre and Ali engage in a dance of desire and a battle of wits, they surrender to a passion they never knew existed—and risk their hearts and souls for a love they never thought they could find.
