River of Desire
Was it her exquisitely flawless milk-white skin, the cool blue of her fathomless eyes, or the silken strands of her flaxen hair that astonished the inhabitants of Cairo? No matter which, the arrival of the breathtakingly beautiful American girl, Althea Grey, on the banks of the Nile had aroused insatiable passions in the hearts of men who hungered at the sight of her.

 To Gabre Wolta, the Ethiopian slave trader and womanizer par excellence, she was yet another conquest...to Mohamed Ali, the heinous ruler of Egypt, she was a coveted addition to his harem...and to Talbot Cheltenham, the noble English lord, she was the answer to his every dream.

 Each longed to possess the aloof Althea's alabaster loveliness, but there was only one from whom there was no escape. For he alone had melted her icy reserve...his ardent kisses kindled flames of uncontrollable desire her body dared not deny. The one man who would ultimately risk honor and life itself in his unrelenting quest to claim her for his own -- the only man who could quench the fire in her soul.
