Even as he plucks up the courage to ask for Rose’s hand thieves potential kidnappers and corrupt officials not to mention one particularly determined love rival seem destined to thwart Mr Malik’s chances.Will an Indian gentleman in the heart of Africa be defeated by the many obstacles that stand between him and his heart’s desire?
