Trapped in a perilous situation - in the middle of a Far Eastern country on the brink of civil war - Netta had only one way of escape: to marry Joss de Courcey, a man she knew only by his reputation, as 'the Fox'. She didn't have much choice in the circumstances - but did he have to treat her as quite such a helpless idiot? But if Netta imagined that, once they got back to England and safety, she could get away from him and all the unpleasantness would be over, she was mistaken!
"I have to marry you in order to escape?"
Netta didn't know whether to laugh or cry! Here she was, trapped in a Far Eastern country on the brink of civil war, and her only way to safety was marriage to the arrogant embassy aide, Joss de Courcey!
It was a much worse fate than her previous one, she decided later.
To Netta, her marriage vows were sacred promises, made from the heart. To Joss, they were merely a mockery....
