Alone and Afraid

Kitrina moves among the glittering elite of Paris and London. Her looks are striking, and she owes them to a scandalous romance between her parents.

The Marquis of Elkesley is handsome, daring, and far too experienced in the ways of the world. He can see what lies ahead for the shining young woman: she is destined to become the child bride of a fierce, merciless sheikh of the desert, a man whose imagination she has already caught.

This novel is by Barbara Cartland, one of the most prolific romance writers of the twentieth century, whose books were known for their dramatic, heightened love stories.
