A proper young Englishwoman gets swept off her feet by a dashing desert prince in this international Regency romance! Lady Celia Cleveden thinks of herself as eminently sensible from the tips of her sturdy boots to the top of her unadorned bonnet. So her marriage to an equally practical British diplomat seems perfectly logical—even if, despite the blistering Egyptian heat, he never warms to her. Everything changes for Lady Celia when she finds herself abandoned in the unforgiving desert of A'Qadiz, and the enigmatic Prince Ramiz comes to her rescue. When he offers her a place in his harem, she ought to be shocked . . . but the seductive desert and intoxicating Ramiz make it curiously tempting . . .
