The Lioness of Morocco
Independent-minded Sibylla Spencer feels trapped in nineteenth-century London, where her strong will and progressive views have rendered her unmarriageable. Still single at twenty-three, she is treated like a child and feels stifled in her controlling father's house.
When Benjamin Hopkins, an ambitious employee of her father's trading company, shows an interest in her, she realizes marriage is her only chance to escape. As Benjamin's rising career whisks them both away to exotic Morocco, Sibylla is at last a citizen of the world, reveling in her newfound freedom by striking her first business deals, befriending locals…and falling in love for the first time with a charismatic and handsome Frenchman.
But Benjamin's lust for money and influence draws him into dark dealings, pulling him ever further from Sibylla and their two young sons. When he's arrested on horrible charges, the fate of Sibylla's family rests on her shoulders, as she must decide whether she'll leave him to his fate or help him fight for his life.

About the Author
Horst and Julia Drosten write together using the pseudonym Julia Drosten. They live in the picturesque Münsterland region of Germany and have always wanted to write books. They are finding the research to be almost as much fun. Together they have flown in a historic biplane. They have been pampered by an aesthetician. For “The Girl with the Golden Scissors” they traced the streets of 19th century Vienna and for “The Elephant Keeper’s Daughter”, they visited Sri Lanka to spend time with wild elephants.
They have written numerous bestsellers, among others “The Lioness of Morocco”, The Elephant Keeper's Daughter and 'The Girl with the Golden Scissors".
