Sweeping story featuring wonderful historical events of 1600's Orient ...exotic locale and great characters. I would rate it sensual...

Washed ashore after a deadly shipwreck, Megan Carlisle was marooned in a strange yet fascinating country, where she herself was seen as the most exotic of all. Her blazing red hair and flashing green eyes, coupled with her grace and passion, made her a favored court dancer, causing some to hate her, some to fear her and others to desire her. Awakened to ecstasy by the love of a gallant nobleman, only to be torn from his arms and branded by the lust of a barbaric Manchu general, Megan was determined to survive the terrifying invasion of the Chinese armies as war moved thunderously across Korea. But if she did survive, could she abandon forever the Scottish Highlands that were once her heart's home?
