    "She was the mistress of a kingdom, yet a prisoner of her own soul."
    
    Dick Forrest is a man of absolute efficiency, a millionaire rancher who has turned his sprawling California estate into a marvel of scientific agriculture. Beside him is his wife, Paula Forrest—the "Little Lady"—a woman of immense talent, beauty, and spirited independence. Their life is an ordered paradise until the arrival of Dick's old friend, Evan Graham. As Graham and Paula fall into an irresistible, soul-stirring attraction, the "Big House" becomes the stage for a devastating emotional conflict. London crafts a story that asks: can a life built on logic and mastery ever truly satisfy the wild, unpredictable demands of love?
    
    A Masterclass in Character: Moving away from the "primitive man," London provides a nuanced look at the modern elite. Paula Forrest is one of London's most complex female protagonists—a "boy-woman" who excels at riding and music but finds herself torn between the stable, brotherly devotion of her husband and the romantic fire of a new suitor.
    
    The Beauty of the Land: Set in the lush landscapes of California's Sonoma County, the novel is a love letter to the earth. London's vivid descriptions of breeding prize livestock and taming the wilderness serve as a backdrop to the characters' internal struggles, suggesting that even the most "civilized" surroundings cannot suppress the primal instincts of the heart.

    The first time I met Malcolm Shepherd, I whispered in his ear. 
    I had my reasons for doing it, which he knew nothing about. It probably seemed a bit odd to him, and he undoubtedly got the wrong idea about me. Because of that, one thing led to another and we ended up kissing only ten minutes after our first introduction. 
    I said goodbye to him at the end of our brief first encounter, and I thought I would never see him again. Honestly, I believed it would be best if I never saw him again. I had a reputation to uphold, and kissing strangers and whispering in their ear was not on my list of things to get caught doing. 
    Thankfully, Shep wouldn’t take no for an answer.
