Story of a fashion model from a wealthy family who has a troubled past -- she was raped by her titled brother-in-law and nicknamed "Lolita" by the foreign press. She emerges as an ugly duckling turned fabulous model who is being targeted for harm. Her hero is a well-to-do cop (?) called S.C. (after Samuel Clemens). He helps the heroine get through her troubled family relations and dark past, while love develops between them. Can't remember the author or title. Help!
