Summary
Diana Mayo is young, beautiful, wealthy, and independent. Bored by the eligible bachelors and endless parties of the English aristocrats, she arranges for a trek through the Algerian desert. Two days into the her adventure, she is kidnapped by the powerful Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, who forces her into submission. Diana tries desparately to resist but finds herself falling in love with the dark and handsome stranger. What follows is a tale of mystery, power, and forbidden love fulfilled.
