The Slaves of Love
Cartland, Barbara
Yamina froze as a new wave of terror swept over her. Life had become so dangerous.

Caught in Constantinople during the Crimean War, the exquisite young Russian had been forced to seek refuge in a Sultan's harem from a mob that would have torn her apart. And when the harem became too perilous  --  not to her life but her virtue  --  Yamina had to flee again.

Hidden in the bottom of an Oriental trunk masquerading as a gift from the Sultan, she was carried aboard a ship in the harbor. Yamina felt she was safe at last. Until she heard the voice of the man accepting the Sultan's gift Lord Castleford,  --  a man she despised.

She would rather be back in the harem  --  or dead at the bottom of the Bosporus Straits  --  than be imprisoned aboard ship with such a monster!
