Description
When Stacy Altison arrives in Korea to teach history in a military dependents' school, she discovers that all she has heard and read about the romance of the Orient is true. She finds it in her new home, with its rice-paper windows and mist-filled garden, a silken bower in a valley so remote that warlords were reputed to have secreted the women they loved there. Most of all, she finds it in the eyes and arms of handsome Major Kent Lanier, who runs the Base's adult-education program.
But the spell cast by the mysterious Orient is not all benevolent. As strong as the love she shares with Kent is, Stacy soon learns that there is something even stronger that seems destined to keep them apart. And then, wen her work for Kent ensnares her in a web of international intrigue, she realizes that she must untangle the threads for his sake--even if it means losing him forever...
