Joanne Redd. Desert Bride. New York: Dell Publishing, 1989.
When she flees an English nobleman's wrath, Lorna Winters becomes the prize of a Barbary pirate
and is sold to a pasha's harem. But fate intervenes when she is rescued from
captivity by Captain Nathan Sloan. The arrogant American adventurer is infuriating and commanding...and
completely irresistible.
During their trek for freedom across the desert, Lorna and Nathan must take part in a marriage ceremony
to prevent Lorna from being auctioned to a repugnant, undesirable tribesman. Lorna then finds herself
powerless to resist the handsome stranger, and cannot prevent herself from becoming his love
slave.
For his part, Nathan soon becomes obsessed by the fiery beauty who ignites his senses and commands
his heart. Driven by passion and revenge, he defies man, the elements, and Lorna herself. And
he will stop at nothing to truly make her his.
