Book Description
Dressed in the gauzy costume of a desert courtesan, dancing with all the passion and sensuality in her soul, Lady Rexana Villeaux performs in disguise for the new High Sheriff of Warringham. Her goal is to distract him while her servant steals a missive which offers proof her brother Rudd is a traitor to the Crown.

And learns that the Dance of Desire was only a beginning . . . .
