The Lady & the Libertine (Leisure Historical Romance)
Stealing the ruby proved to be much easier than Nigel Wallenford thought it would be. Masquerading as his twin brother, Thomas, Nigel traced the ruby, which was the key to a king’s ransom in ancient Egyptian gold, to the Khamsin camp, where Karida bint Ali Sharif had been charged with guarding the jewel. Once Karida discovers the ruby is gone, she sets out for England disguised as Anne Mitchell to find the duplicitous Englishman who not only stole her honor but also her love. Danger, desire, and a generous amount of deception combine with dazzlingly sexy results in the seventh action-packed addition to Vanak’s refreshingly different, late-Victorian-set Khamsin Warriors of the Wind series. --John Charles
