About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Swept Away

The desert warrior of her dreams came galloping toward her like a shadowed promise. She dropped her shovel in fright, recogizing the tall, veiled figure. Jabari. Her legs trembled and she stepped back, leaning against the boulder. A wicked-looking sword flashed silver in the moonlight as he held it aloft.

Even in her terror, she marveled at his magnificence, his proud fierceness like an ancient warrior. The sheikh looked like a dark, avenging angel.

Instinctively, she knew he intended to kill her. She had violated some sacred ancestral burying place. Any last vestige of strength fled her. Tears formed in her eyes as she contemplated the specter of death approaching swiftly.

Elizabeth bowed her head, waiting for the killing blow. Then raised her gaze for one last look at life. And let out a startled gasp as he whirled the blade in the air, and sheathed it.

He stopped his horse in front of her. In one powerful motion, he leaned down and as easily as a falcon plucks prey from the sky, scooped her into the saddle.
