Sofia (Reign of the Favored Women #1)
Sofia caused a sensation in Turkey where it spent over six months on the bestsellers list. Real historical figures come to life in the exotic sixteenth-century Ottoman world of intrigue and opulence that Turks call The Reign of the Favored Women: An ambitious young noblewoman from Venice, captured by corsairs and sold into the Sultan’s harem, vows her future will hold more than sexual slavery. And the young man who sets out to rescue her is asked to pay a price higher than any man can afford.
The Sultan’s Daughter (Reign of the Favored Women #2)
Giorgio Veniero, once a Venetian sailor, now a eunuch, guards the life and honor of his beloved mistress, Esmikhan, wife of the Grand Vizier. Unable to bear children that survive, the Sultan’s daughter nearly resigns herself to a life alone, unloved by absent husband or child.
Sofia, captured by the Turks at the same time as Giorgio, enthralls the heir to the Ottoman Empire with her loving wiles. Secure within the cloistered depths of the harem, Safiye, as she is called, wields power that stretches its tendrils far beyond the palace walls.
When these plots grow to threaten Esmikhan, Giorgio does what he can to thwart them. But his more difficult challenge lies in the love he bears Esmikhan. When kidnappers threaten her, this slave must choose between his chance to regain freedom and his desire to help the woman he loves. And when forbidden passion tempts her astray, earlier dangers pale in comparison. Giorgio finds that he holds Esmikhan’s happiness in his hands–and risks death for both of them, should he give it to her.
