Plot Summary of Sealed By Revenge
"Countess Elyssa Di Spadafiera's fate is sealed when she unwittingly embarks on a dangerous adventure in an oppressive land where women are hidden behind the veil and men are strong, powerful adversaries. Her strength and determination is severely tested when she must overcome unthinkable obstacles in her struggle to maintain her pride and honor.

With the aid of a mystical ruby, she entrusts her life to the powerful Sheik Rakan, who yearns to find the woman of his dreams to whom he can surrender his love and his dangerous secret. Together, they form a revengeful alliance against Elyssa's malicious oppressor, triggering the terrifying events that will reveal their indomitable courage and compassion amidst the threat of death and destruction, and sparking a fiery liaison that ignites their passion, inflames their latent desires and fulfills their destiny.

Set against the culturally diverse backdrops of Italy, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, "Sealed by Revenge" is an exciting, sensual romance peppered with mystery and intrigue -- a poignant story of courage in the face of oppression and love against all odds.
