|---|
"Due to a fortunate childhood incident Kate Tellmann is plucked from a life of poverty and is inducted into an organisation, The Business, which since Roman Times has been a world-wide financial force. Over the years Kate rises through the corporate ranks and finds herself to be the love interest of the prince of a small Himalayan country. Kate's interests lie with another of her colleagues, however, who refuses to be disloyal to his wife. But in the end, Kate has to balance what is good for The Business, the prince and his country, and her personal feelings. "
