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, Adhani¡ 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 Streets of Rome Tribune Marcellus Valerius, Caesar's Master Architect, had witnessed Adhani¡’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.
