Jade Pagoda

Tawny Butler had come to believe that the scandal in her past would forever define her future. Seeking escape, Tawny went to stay with her brother and found herself in a gorgeous new setting- Kashmir in the late 1800s- as dramatic as the adventures about to come her way. Tawny's arrival in Kashmir- so different from her native England- seemed to be a signal. Things began to happen and, almost without realizing it, she found herself high in the snow covered mountains, on the trail of a willful young woman who was the key to a treasure of immeasurable price. Tawny had promised to deliver both to the runaways frantic brother in Kathmandu. Thus, amid dangers she could never have imagined, menaced by the fierce and magnificent forces of man and of nature itself, Tawny discovers that her past has relaxed its hold upon her heart, and she begins to experience emotions she has never known before. And, in the end, back in Kathmandu, it is quite a different Tawny Butler who reappears, and quite a different treasure she delivers as the fulfillment of her original promise, and to quite a different man than she had expected to receive it.
