About the book: 2001 / Teacher Veronica Hamish, it would seem, is driven into a trap by fate. She must pay off a huge debt to save her dying father's honor. Having nothing but youth and beauty, the girl decides to sell... herself. But even finding herself in the humiliating position of a concubine, she retains fortitude, pride and decency, which her “master” cannot but appreciate. And the slave becomes the mistress.
