关于此电子书

Diana, the flighty, flirty, and very beautiful social butterfly with a rich father and aristocratic pedigree… Lord Hugo Dalk, the handsome ‘man about town’ who pursues her relentlessly…And in contrast, the brilliant young philosopher and Oriental adventurer, Barry Dunbar.

Barry despises Diana’s trivial lifestyle – but not as much as she hates his superior attitude. Everything changes, though, when her father’s financial empire collapses and he’s found dead by his own hand. Now a penniless social outcast, at death’s door with double pneumonia, she realises she’s loved Barry Dunbar all along… only to learn that on his oriental travels, he has become a Buddhist monk. Has she just discovered the love of her life, only to lose him forever?
