Zara is a princess from a small European country, and she is engaged to be married to the Prince of her country. Paul and Zara’s love affair is passionate and intense, but their relationship is threatened by the Prince’s jealousy and Zara’s duty to her country.The novel explores themes of love, duty, and sacrifice, and is known for its exotic settings and steamy romance. It was controversial when it was first published, and was banned in some countries for its explicit content.
