From birth, Leila was raised in the harem of her stepfather Sinjar Al-Aziz, a famous physician of the East. She is as well trained in medical knowledge as in the sensual arts. She often accompanies her stepfather as he treats his patients and even assits him. All she dreams of is to be as good a physician in the East as her beloved stepfather and to marry Sinjar's son.
Crusader Guy de Warenne was a prisoner in Damascus. Leila is sent to heal him and he mistakes her for another Christian slave. Determined to escape, Leila's mother aids him if he would do as she asks: to take Leila with him back to England, to the brother she has never known, to her rightful heritage.

Guy gives his word to see Leila safely delivered to Roger Gervaise--her brother and his most treacherous enemy. Guy falls in love with Leila en route to England and vows to make her his.

There's so much love in this story you can actually feel it! Very moving! Fantastic!!!
