From the palaces of pashas in seventeenth-century India to the
scandalous court of James Stuart of England, one woman struggles against
fate to find true love . . .
Princess Yasaman has been blessed with rapturous beauty, fierce
intelligence, and an innocent sensuality that captivates two formidable
men--her scheming half-brother, Salim, and her loving husband, Prince
Jamal. But her days of bliss and nights of steamy passion are shattered
when Jamal is murdered, and Yasaman flees to England and the court of
James I. Calling herself Jasmine, she is reunited with her beautiful
mother, Velvet, and her grandmother, the legendary Skye O'Malley de
Marisco.
Before long, Jasmine is caught up in the tangled intrigues of the court
of the Stuart king, James I, where she is admired by the most powerful
men in England: Rowan Lindley, Marquess of Westleigh, her good-natured
second husband; the Earl of Glenkirk, who tempts her with forbidden
passion; and hot-blooded Henry Stuart, prince of England. It is here
that she truly becomes Wild Jasmine, a woman who lives and loves with
fierce abandon and who surrenders to the deepest pleasures of love. . .
