A dramatic story of love and intrigue set in the glamorous sun of Majorca.
In Palma on vacation, Rosamund Lowe accepted a lift from a stranger named Rune le Motte and was involved in a smash-up. After the auto accident, a fragile blond girl regained consciousness in an unfamiliar house, and gazed upon by mysterious faces. Kept as a virtual prisoner in the strange house, it was her home and she was Rune le Motte the heiress, or so Mark Jervis told her. But Mark's motives were suspect for her, she is confused by the sinister atmosphere that prevailed and is almost forced into marriage against her will. When she meets a destitute singer for whom she conceives a violent atraction, she found herself turning to his hated enemy, Julian Marsh for support. Her memory may have been shattered, but not her strength nor her ability to love. And now the only solutions to the emotional triangle depended on whether she was really Rune le Motte or the girl who impersonate her. Only when she fully recovers her memory that she is able to piece the puzzle.

I often wander around flea-markets and such to find interesting books to read. I noticed this book because of its red covers and opened a random page and read a few sentences to see if it was interesting. It certainly was interesting enough for me to buy it - it was cheap anyway. Unfortunately the book was translated to finnish and how poorly even! However I did enjoy the story and most of the characters - there was something very annoying in Rose though. I think I could've liked the book more if I had had a chance to read it in its original language. If I ever get the chance, though, I will rewrite my review.
