Fountain of Fire

NINA RAMBOVNA: from court to countryside, from slavery in China to fame in the new world, her breathtaking beauty inflamed the passions of many men. But she would give her heart to only one... AKIR SOONAY: as exotic as he was elusive...he could kill a man one moment, make love to a woman the next. He would search the seas of the world to find one woman who could match his spirit. COUNT ALEXI KURBETOV: when he could no longer stand just to watch the lithe body of his young charge, he arranged a series of bold kidnappings that forced Nina into the arms of the wrong man. JAMES DUNCAN: he taught Nina new ways to love, and she was a willing pupil. But his passion for his land, his people, was a lesson she could never master.
