A Princess in Distress

"Your heart spoke to my heart, and your soul to mine." Mariska was shocked that the German High Command should expect her to splay the spy -- and terrified of her husband's anger if she refused. While in Marienbad to report to Edward VII, Lord Arkley meets the lovely and unhappy Mariska. She is married to the sadistic Prince Friederich of Wilzenstein, a man condemned to a wheelchair by the effects of an anarchist's bomb.
