Library Journal
When a cynical, restless nobleman flees an unwanted betrothal and heads to Egypt to track down the long-lost granddaughter of a family friend, the last thing he expects is to find love in the form of an elusive, cross-dressing Arab street urchin. Yet once he snares the fiercely loyal, independent Ayisha, Rafe Ramsey knows she is exactly what he wants—if only he can convince her. English Regency society and the back streets of early 19th-century Cairo spring to vibrant life in this enthralling and thought-provoking tale of survival, secrets, and social class. VERDICT Threaded with charm and humor, this action-rich, emotionally compelling story is the third in Gracie's popular "Devil Riders" series. Though it stands on its own, it is sure to entice readers to read the others. Gracie (His Captive Lady) lives in Melbourne, Australia.
