Opis

While traveling in the heathen land of Algiers, Elizabeth Bennet is stolen from her companions and thrust into the power of a darkly handsome Sheik whose actions and manners immediately set them at odds. Can the desert-born hero overcome his native pride to humble himself before Elizabeth? Can Elizabeth put aside her reservations and accept the Sheik as her Mr. Darcy? Divisions of culture join those of rank in this colorful retelling of Jane Austen's celebrated novel, forcing Elizabeth Bennet and her captor, the Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, onto the path to a torrid desert romance. "The Sheik of Araby is one of the best Pride and Prejudice variations I have ever read. It will sweep you up and carry you away into the desert from the very first page." -M. K. Baxley, author of 'The Cumberland Plateau'
