Book Description

DANGER AND DESIRE – BURSTING INTO FLAME UNDER THE BLAZING MOROCCAN SUN.

Young Emilie Sloane's sensuous and willful nature clashed with her genteel English upbringing. Even as she sailed into the fabled port of Tangiers, she felt a desire within her for exotic adventure and a man's powerful embrace -- a desire as uncontrollable as the searing desert wind. Adventure awaited her on the scorching sands stained with the blood of tribal war and in the glittering palaces and perfumed pleasure gardens of the Sultan himself. And passion, too, with the suave French count... the dedicated young doctor... the bold, cruel Moorish chieftain whose strife-scarred hands could caress with exquisite tenderness. Proudly defying convention, Emilie flung herself irrevocably into the sweeping, swirling storm of danger and romance! They met on the sands of destiny.

EMILIE SLOANE -- fair-haired, cream-skinned, she would be a perfect young English lady ... were she not driven by an uncontrollable yearning to know the ultimate heights and depths of a woman's passion.

HENRI CARTIER -- the dashing French nobleman, wise in the ways of love yet thunderstruck by Emilie's beguiling charms.

PIERRE LOUVEL -- the young doctor, loved by Emilie's sister, seemingly devoted only to his healing work ... yet Emilie could not forget his eyes' frank appraisal of her body.

TALEB AL-MU'MIN -- the dark conqueror of the desert, whose ferocity in war filled Emilie with horror even as his skilled caresses brought her to undreamed of pinnacles of ecstasy.

HADRA -- the dusky beauty whose jealousy of Emilie's happiness was tempered by the knowledge that no man of Taleb's might could be content with only one woman
