The Scorpion & the Seducer

RETURN TO EGYPT
Jasmine Tristan was no stranger to the upper crust of London society. And yet, though adopted by an English viscount, she was called the "Brown Scorpion" and knew the cruel sting of bigotry. When she took revenge, a new fear was voiced: Was Jasmine truly bad at her core, like her sultan father from whom she and her mother had fled? How could she be, when she'd known a moment of pure beauty with Lord Thomas Claradon? Their kiss had been scorching as a desert sun. But like a sandstorm, it was misdirecting: Thomas's loyalty to his family and duty, and his Countess mother's disdain, put him forever out of her reach. Only a return to her birthplace, a quest to find her roots, would bring Jasmine answers--and also prove that true love could triumph over ignorance, passion over prejudice.
