FROM THE SHIFTING SANDS OF EGYPT ... The Golden Arrow was the most coveted prize of the desert's fierce Bedouin tribes, but it was a disgrace for the prince's beautiful sister to claim it by outriding and outshooting her male competition. When the sheik despaired of finding her a husband, Adhania vowed, "I shall show you that I can please a man," and proceeded to inflame all viewers by disguising herself as a dancing girl. What choice did her brother have but to send her off to Queen Cleopatra for a change of scene and lessons in decorum? TO THE TREACHEROUS STREET OF ROME ... Tribune Marcellus Valerius, Caesar's Master Architect, had witnessed Adhania's sultry display, been intrigued by her daring and entranced by her soft skin and the unforgettable scent of jasmine. In the city of his birth, where scandal, intrigue and danger were a way of life, the lovely young Egyptian seemed instantly at home. But caught between Caesar and Cleopatra, she soon needed rescuing and to learn that Marcellus knew best of all how to please his woman.

Many of her books have been published in trade paperback.Among her many awards, she is the recipient of the 1996 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. There are eight million copies of her books in print. She says: "I have always loved history, and I loved storytelling—it was only natural that I would one day put them both together. I must have lived in another life and time, because when I write, I can almost feel I was there. My favorite part of writing is the research. Whenever possible, I will go to the place I am writing about to walk the land and smell the air." https://www.facebook.com/Constanceobanyon/
