The Desert Flower... At seventeen, fiery Juliet Cameron fell passionately in love and married the perfect companion for the adventurous life she wanted to lead. Lord Ross Carlisle is handsome, dashing, and as eager to explore the world as she is. But social constraints and fear of an all consuming love that threatens to engulf her independent spirit send Juliet fleeing to the distant land where she was raised as a diplomat's child. Now, a dozen years later, a gentleman's promise sends Lord Ross on a dangerous rescue mission to Central Asia-and to a shocking reunion with his long estranged wife. Warily they join forces to cross the merciless desert to Bokhara, where Juliet's army officer brother has been imprisoned. The fierce attraction that drew them together so many years before has never died.
