The Whipping Turn

Sold from a dysfunctional family on the brink of Russian poverty to an opulent but oppressive Arabian palace, a young girl named Anya becomes an unwilling second wife to the Sheikh's eldest son.
Struggling against the harsh reality of an abusive relationship in the desert, Anya's finds solace in unsuspecting, and possibly unfavourable places but when desperation forces her to make friends with two foreigner's, Anya might just have a chance at freedom.

Jenna's past nips at her heels, the dark cloud never far behind her, but work, dance and her kind-of-family keep her tethered and strong. When one of her pillars collapses, a surprising and unconventional one starts to form in the dust. Her history is brought to the forefront again and again, but now she just might be strong enough to face those few remaining demons and even find some good in the terrible.

For those who like books with strong women who know what they want (well, in bed at least), gorgeous and funny men (because boring is never cute), gooood sex with a load of dirty talk and a bunch of family and friends who tell you how it is. Oh and always a HEA!
