While traveling in the heathen land of Algiers, Elizabeth Bennet is stolen from her companions and thrust into the power of a darkly handsome Sheik whose actions and manners immediately set them at odds. Can the desert-born hero overcome his native pride to humble himself before Elizabeth? Can Elizabeth put aside her reservations and accept the Sheik as her Mr. Darcy? Divisions of culture join those of rank in this colorful retelling of Jane Austen's celebrated novel, forcing Elizabeth Bennet and her captor, the Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, onto the path to a torrid desert romance. "The Sheik of Araby is one of the best Pride and Prejudice variations I have ever read. It will sweep you up and carry you away into the desert from the very first page." -M. K. Baxley, author of 'The Cumberland Plateau'

Elizabeth Bennet has promised to marry Ahmed ben Hassan, the handsome and fascinating sheik born with the name Fitzwilliam Darcy. But when a shocking revelation tears the young lovers apart, her exotic adventure is far from over. In this second installment of a trilogy, Jane Austen's familiar, colorful cast of characters is brought to life transformed beneath the confident hand of author Lavinia Angell, throwing feisty and independent Elizabeth into a new world of love and loss across the cultural divide.

Four years ago, Elizabeth Bennet married an Arab sheik born with the name Fitzwilliam Darcy and swore to pass the rest of her life in his desert home. Now Algeria may fall, and Elizabeth and Ahmed are again caught between cultures as their union is threatened by the true-life events of the bombardment of Algiers in 1816. In this volume author Lavinia Angell gracefully concludes her imaginative vision of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and the adventures begun in The Sheik of Araby and Son of the East. Praise for Lavinia Angell’s Sheik series: “Will leave the reader breathless and eager for more.” –C.E. Coulombe “Absolutely dynamic. Do yourself a favor: pick this book up immediately and enjoy the ride.” –B.W. Carlson
