Author Description

Sarah Woolcott, spirited and independent, always yearned to escape the Victorian mores and monotony of 19th century Boston. Now, she finds herself trapped in the harem of a Turkish prince, unable to escape back to America or even the relative safety of Constantinople. Pampered and tightly controlled, Sarah knows she will never submit willingly to this world of courtesans and servants. Yet, Kalid Shah, the startlingly handsome man who has purchased her carries an indescribable assuredness about him. He longs to possess this blue-eyed American woman--not simply her body but her heart as well. As fate pulls these two together, violence and the traditions of this foreign land threaten to tear them apart. Will passions overrun them? Can they overcome the divide between their worlds? Will Sarah and Kalid's mutual longings be able to set each other free?
