Only the deepest desire could bring them together. Only the darkest betrayal could tear them apart. Olivia - the elegant American daughter of privilege, she is seduced by the opulence of a strange and beautiful culture. But her seduction isn't complete until she meets the man who becomes her opium...her obsession. Jai - the tormented son of an unknown Englishman and an Indian servant girl, he is an alien in the prejudiced world of the British Raj---a dark, forbidding man Olivia can netierh trust...nor resist. Together they explore the sensuous, exotic tapestry of India in 1848---from its riotous peasant bazaars to tiger hunts in hushed jungles...and together, they efy every convention of a time and place, swept up in a powerful blend of passion and frustration that transorms them from devoted lovers to fierce enemies.
