Dark-skinned beauty, Elena Ravenscliffe, is only six months from giving birth to a son, Jonathan. Originally from England, she and her husband, Robert, are in Constantinople where he has gambled everything away and they live in poverty. Elena is lost to the slave traders to satisfy Robert's debt, and she is separated from her baby while dragged away in chains. Elena is sold into a harem and bargains to obey with the return of her son. Prince Amir, of the Isle of Carfu, grooms her in the erotic ways of a high-priced whore, while keeping his promise to give her and her son all the luxuries possible.

Five years later, Griffin Summerfield, Marques of Rothburn, previously engaged to Elena, attends the harem auction and recognizes her. His purchase of her for three months begins a sexually erotic love affair, but she's terrified of her child being left behind. To return Jonathan to her and escape certain death from Amir, Griffin fears losing the love he values more than his life.

Tiffany Clare has written an exceptionally exciting and heart-wrenching story of devotion and survival of a young mother, sold into the most despicable of circumstances. Elena's bravery and determination is unequaled. Her love and devotion for her son, as well as love for her long-lost fiancé, tears her apart. I found this to be fast-paced, full of suspense and totally exciting with each turn of the page. A new and refreshing plot has been woven for the reader.
