Synopsis
Lord Rothingham har tjent en formue i Østen og har nu kunnet opfylde sin største drø At tilbagekøbe sit fædrene gods, King‘s Keep, som hans far i sin tid satte over styr. På sin første ridetur møder han Jessica Melton, der som han selv er blevet offer for en spillegal far. Det bliver et skæbnesvangert møde, for Jessica følger med Lord Rothingham til London. Her gør hun sin entre i selskabslivet uden anelse om de faldgruber, der skjuler sig under den strålende overflade, eller om intrigante fjender og lurende ondskab. Og en skønne dag sidder hun i det uhyggelige Newgatefængsel som offer for et komplot...Barbara Cartland (1901-2000) var en engelsk forfatter til romantiske romaner, der er blevet solgt i adskillige millioner eksemplarer.

Whilst riding in the woods, this cynical autocrat discovers lovely Syringa Melton, broken-hearted at the prospect of having to lose her white stallion, Mercury, to meet the debts of a dissolute father.
