Larina Milton kan knappt tro sina öron. Hon har lyckats undvika tuberkulosen som tog hennes mors liv, men nu säger läkaren att hon ändå bara har 21 dagar kvar att leva! Han konstaterar att hon har ett ovanligt hjärtfel och att det inte finns något någon kan göra. I all sin förtvivlan kan Larina bara tänka på en sak: hon måste kontakta Elvin Farren.Det var på hennes mors behandlingshem som Larina och den dödssjuke Elvin träffades - och där de lovade att alltid finnas till för varandra. Men en sak glömde visst Elvin att nämna. Hans egentliga efternamn är inte Farren, utan Vanderfeld, och han tillhör en utav New Yorks finaste familjer. Plötsligt är Larina inbjuden till familjens villa i Italien - men det finns en baktanke. I Elvins närhet finns nämligen de som tror att hon bara är ute efter hans pengar. Kommer hon lyckas övertyga dem om motsatsen, innan det är försent? Cartlands böcker äger rum i de finare engelska kretsarna och i exotiska miljöer. Kärleken är häftig mellan de passionerade hjältarna och vackra hjältinnorna, men gång på gång går de igenom prövningar. Men äkta kärlek är alltid starkast och det finns ingenting den inte kan besegra. Barbara Cartland (1901-2000) var kanske 1900-talets mest produktiva författare, med över 650 titlar i bagaget. Hennes böcker är översatta till 38 språk, och med över en miljard sålda exemplar är det ingen tvekan om att Barbara Cartland förblir en av världens största romantiker.
