Notorious rake Randall Clayton, seventh Duke of Beldon, believes a fraud caused his young cousin to commit suicide after losing his family fortune. His search for the truth leads him to Caitlin Harmon, the daughter of an American archaeologist who is hot on the trail of a lost necklace of Cleopatra's and seemingly in cahoots with the man Rand thinks ruined his cousin. Cait, believing that she was responsible for her mother's death, has vowed never to marry so that she can take care of her father. Not wanting to miss out on experiencing passion, however, she enters into a clandestine affair with Rand, certain that she'll never see him again. But after leaving for a remote African island in quest of the necklace, she discovers that she's pregnant. Martin is adept at weaving sex scenes into the action as the lovers face tragedies that tear them apart until they finally realize that love has captured their hearts.
