description: She met him in Paris, and then he swept her off to his own world--India. Suddenly Laure Hastings was a princess in an exotic fairy tale as Bharat Bhati lavished her with jewels, fulfilled her every sensual fantasy, her every need, her every wish. He offered her his opulent home, a chance to soar to the very top of the international fashion world, and a love that never asked but commanded. Laure was spellbound. But could such a man accept a woman as fiercely independent as Laure? Was Bharat still bound to a love--and a tradition--of the past...or was he free to offer Laure the priceless gift of a lasting love?
