The Beating Heart

By Victoria Cross

Christine Smith's journey through the wilderness between Jerusalem and Jericho leads her to an unexpected confrontation with fate. When her touring party is intercepted by Bedouin tribesmen, she alone can communicate with their enigmatic leader, Lasrali. What begins as peril swiftly transforms into revelation, as Christine finds in Lasrali a force of nature more powerful than anything she's known-one that echoes a long-lost moment of ecstasy in her youth. Caught between the rules of civilization and the call of something ancient and vital, she must choose: return to the safety of English propriety, or claim her place beside a man whose kiss reshapes her very soul.
