Lady Flavia — a beautiful English rose f with the wild sensuality of a more exotic flower — comes to the ancient land of Greece to marry Prince Zebukar, handsome cousin to the Sultan of Turkey.
Swathed in shimmering silks, glittering with rich jewels, Flavia is schooled in the perfumed arts of the harem to please her husband. But the splendour of their wedding night is profaned by a climax of horrifying violence and Flavia fears she’ll never love again...
Until she is abducted by the man they call the Pagan — charismatic hero and legendary leader of the Greek freedom fighters. And Flavia finds her heart and body willingly yield to the ardent fires of her emerald-eyed captor.
