Ashton Burke is a legendary adventurer who has spent the
past ten years roaming the globe to forget the girl he left
behind. His devil-may-care life is interrupted when he's
hired to rescue his brother's kidnapped fiancee from a
sultan's harem. Too late, he discovers she is none other
than Clarinda Cardew, the very same girl who made off with
his jaded heart a decade ago.
The last thing Clarinda wants is to be trapped in a palace
of sensual delights with the man whose irresistible kisses
still haunt her sleepless nights. Although he vows he is
only doing his job, Clarinda quickly realizes that allowing
Ashton to rescue her may put her yearning heart in even
greater peril. In a journey that takes them from the
delicious intrigues of a sultan's court to the glittering
ballrooms of London, Ashton and Clarinda resume the steps
of their dangerous dance only to discover the most
seductive pleasure of all may be love itself.
