Can treachery, sandstorms, past heartache and hate thwart two destined to love?

The Sheik, published in 1921, is perhaps her most famous work, capturing the imaginations of readers with its adventurous romance set in the desert.

Her success in the romance genre paved the way for future authors, leaving a lasting legacy in literary circles.
