'Years of gambling, drinking and womanising had left Reginald jaded and lacking in the lust for life he'd so eagerly embraced as a younger man.'

'The final three days of walking beneath the searing sun of the dessert had left Giselle worn, drawn and thirsty, but a plunge into the cool clear waters of the oasis pool soon refreshed her mind, spirit and body so that she felt revived enough to continue her journey.'
