The Dream Hunter
A man of cool demeanor and stubborn solitude, Lod Winter was a restless wanderer who kept the passions of his heart well hidden. But now, traveling alone in search of a legendary mare known as String of Pearls, he has discovered a far more precious gem. For hidden beneath the ragged costume of a Bedouin boy was a remarkable woman: Zenia Stanhope, daughter of the extraordinary English adventuress known as the Queen of the Desert.
Zenia wants nothing of the dangerous adventuring that Lord Winter lives for. She wants only to reach England, far from the blood and sand of the desert. But in one night of terror, condemned to death, their lives are irrevocably bound by desperate desire.
Zenia escapes to an English world of elegance and comfort, forsaking the lonely, fearless man who has changed her life and conquered her heart...
Until he returns, to invade her sanctuary -- and demand that she pay the price of passion.
