Description: It is no act of love that Regan experiences the night she takes her sister's place in the marriage bed, a counterfeit bride to sate the lust of her twin's new husband. Come morning, her sister, carrying another man's child, resumes her place and Regan is spirited away to a nunnery.
But a more exotic fate awaits the fiery Celtic beauty: Regan is sold to a slave trader. It will be her destiny to come under the tutelage of Karim al Malina, master of the erotic arts, who will mold Regan--now renamed Zaynab, the beautiful one--into a Love Slave fit for a Moorish king, though the pair break the first rule of teacher and pupil ... they fall in love. But Zaynab is not Karim's to keep. She is given to the Caliph of Cordoba, who vows to love her ... and pleasure her as no younger man can. Yet Regan still longs for her one true love, Karim al Malina, and vows that, somehow, their fates must be reunited ... Contains mature themes.Brief description: New York Times bestselling author Bertrice Small penned more than fifty novels, including A Moment in Time, The Kadin, and the O'Malley Saga series.
