| Desdemona "Dizzy" Carlisle is an old-fashioned romantic who resides with her grandfather in Cairo, Egypt. She is constantly getting herself in scrapes, and is continually rescued by Harry Braxton, the man she has secretly been in love with since her arrival in Cairo. When she first arrived she offered herself to him only to be rejected, from that point on she pretended indifference and they became "friends".
Harry, who secretly loves Dizzy, denies her love because he is ashamed of his dyslexia, and keeps his disability a secret. He is an properous trader/scholar of Egyptian artifacts and uses Dizzy's talents as translator to keep their friendship alive. The couple, who carry a large amount of sexual tension, deny their love and passion, pretending it does not exist until Harry's Cousin, Lord Ravenscroft, visits him in town. Ravenscroft is immediately attracted to Dizzy and Harry feels anger and jealousy towards their courtship. Dizzy considers Ravenscroft as a potential husband, but cannot deny that she is still in love with Harry. When Dizzy is kidnapped by a villianous arab, Harry follows her trail to rescue one last time, hoping she will accept despite is disability. | ||
