When Princess Zara was taken prisoner by Sheik Jamal Abd Thabit during a raid, she was determined not to succumb to his wishes. She thought it would be easy, for rather than take her as his concubine then and there, Jamal struck a deal-if he was unable to seduce her within four weeks, he would set her free. Torn between duty to her people and the temptations of her Arab master, Zara wondered if she dared risk all she had ever known and trust her heart to this enemy Sheik.
