Somewhere in the desert outside of Constantinople, Boston-bred Amy Ryder watches as two masked bandits approach on horseback. They demand everyone in her horse-drawn coach hand over their valuables. Apparently, one of the valuables is Amy, herself.
Abducted in an exotic land, Amy wants nothing more than to flee her dark and mysterious captor, the Turkish rebel Malik Bey. But, at the same time, something in his gleaming eyes, his seductive manners, and his strong arms draws her closer. Can it truly be called stealing if Amy so wants to give herself to Malik? Will Malik be willing to sell Amy’s virtue to the highest bidder, or is it a treasure too valuable to share with anyone but himself.
In PANTHER’S PREY, author Doreen Owens Malek spins a tale of hot desert days drifting into sultry desert nights.
