Potiphar's wife - mesu andrews

One of the Bibles most notorious women longs for a love she cannot have in this captivating novel from the award-winning author of Isaiahs Legacy .

Mesu Andrews yet again proves her mastery of weaving a rich and powerful biblical story!--Roseanna M.

White, author of A Portrait of Loyalty Before she is Potiphars wife, Zuleika is the daughter of a king and the wife of a prince.

She rules the isle of Crete alongside her mother in the absence of their seafaring husbands.

But when tragedy nearly destroys Crete, Zuleika must sacrifice her future to save the Minoan people she loves.

Zuleikas father believes his robust trade with Egypt will ensure Pharaohs obligation to marry his daughter, including a bride price hefty enough to save Crete.

But Pharaoh refuses and gives her instead to Potiphar, the captain of his bodyguards: a crusty bachelor twice her age, who would rather have a new horse than a Minoan wife.

Abandoned by her father, rejected by Pharaoh, and humiliated by Potiphars indifference, Zuleika yearns for the homeland she adores.

In the political hotbed of Egypts foreign dynasty, her obsession to return to Crete spirals into deception.

When she betrays Joseph--her Hebrew servant with the face and body of the gods--she discovers only one love is worth risking everything.
