title: Lost Love Found
author: Small, Bertrice
description: To the ivory palaces and harems of the East comes the exquisite Valentina, driven by destiny, heritage...and passion.
  
  VALENTINA HAD BEEN ADMIRED, MARRIED, WIDOWED, YET HAD NEVER KNOWN LOVE....
  
  ...Not even at the illustrious Court of Queen Elizabeth, where her innocent, violet-eyed beauty fired the hearts of England's most gallant gentry, especially the roguish Earl of Kempe and the irrepressible Lord Padraic Burke.
  
  But her innocence shattered when a deathbed confession revealed that her true father might not have been Lord Bliss but the lustful Sultan Murad of Istanbul. Determined to find the truth, Valentina sets sail for the East, a voyage of unsurpassed danger...and erotic discovery.
  
  Lavish, sexy, magnificent--Bertrice Small's LOST LOVE FOUND is a fitting tribute to the unforgettable heroine who rivals her famous aunt, Skye O'Malley, in grace, grandeur, and sensual daring.
  
  Hero: Thomas Ashburne, Earl of Kempe
