From the green English countryside to the burning sands of the exotic East...
Bold, beautiful, and free-spirited, Natia came to Regency England from her native Russia to be Lord Devon's wife. But he was not the aging gentleman she expected. This insolent rake who plied her with kisses was not at all the kind of man she'd planned to marry--and nothing could force her to remain at his side.
But her daring, impetuous plan to flee to her homeland led her into the arms of a savage slaver who saw Natia as a jewel fit for the Sultan's harem.
