About this book

When beautiful, strong-willed Alexandra Wantage impetuously married American photographer Clarkson Hale, it marked a beginning of an adventure that would take them from the privileged circles of British society to the savage, sultry wilderness of Malaya. Forced to work on a failing rubber plantation, Alexandra determinedly built it into a thriving, successful business. And as her reputation among the native turned from notoriety to respect and devotion, Alexandra also kindled the desires of a darkly handsome rajah. In his arms, she would succumb to the exotic enchantment of the islands and fulfill the deepest longings of her womanhood. But their passions held dangers even the two lovers could not foresee. Wars, heartbreak, and betrayals -- Alexandra triumphed against overwhelming odds with a heart and courage that inspired her legend throughout the South Pacific -- the legend of WHITE RANI.
