Efter sin fars död kom Ancella till Monte Carlo för att bli sällskapsdam åt en mycket rik rysk prinsessa. - Redan första kvällen träffade hon prinsessans son på kasinot och blev himlastormande förälskad. - Kärleken tycktes besvarad men inte kunde prinsen på allvar överväga att gifta sig med henne, så omsvärmad av alla societetsskönheter som han var ...? Cartlands böcker äger rum i de finare engelska kretsarna och i exotiska miljöer.
