Iris Johansen. The Golden Barbarian. New York: Bantam Books, 1992.
For years Galen Ben Raschid, a barbarian sheikh, has had his eye on Princess Theresa Christina
Rubinoff (better known simply as Tess). As a woman in a man's world, she faces an oppressive
destiny that is decreed for her. However, Galen offers to change all that for her, and offers
her freedom in exchange for a marriage that would join their kingdoms.
Tess agrees to the union and promptly marries him, unsure exactly what to expect of him
as a husband. She vows to play his seductive game, and surrenders herself to his will. But
she is also determined to fight for her independence in a land that considers women little
more than playthings. Galen strives to make Tess a slave to his passion in order to bind
him to his side, but little does he know that he would soon risk losing his heart to his
fearless bride.
