Jasmine Lian left Malaysia behind when she was eighteen and won a place at Oxford. Since then she's led a golden life: youngest ever partner in one of the most prestigious law firms in London, poised for success in every area. Then one of her clients, construction firm Jordan Cardale, bids for the grandest, most visionary project in Asia - the futuristic Titiwangsa University, a complete town and campus in the rainforest-covered hills of Malaysia that will mark the dawning of the 21st century.
Bill Jordan wants to win that contract. By any means necessary. Jasmine, already struggling against the magnetic hold of her past, is forced to choose - between old life and new, East and West, right and wrong.
