The Velvet Glove — Rebecca Stratton

"Marry? But I don't want a husband!"

Laurette made the declaration firmly--as if trying to convince herself, as well as Nuri, that it was true.

In fact, ever since Ian, the handsome British diplomat, had offered her love and a return to England, Laurette's thoughts were confused.

How could she leave Turkey and her adopted family? And especially Nuri. Nuri, whom she found aggravating and fought with; Nuri, whom she had just discovered she loved! Could he possibly love her, too?

Hero: Nuri Kayaman
Heroine: Laurette Kearn
