The Last Rose of the Middle Atlas - E-book - ePub

Can a single glance steal a man's heart? Rasmus Kanerva travels the world, racking up the frequent flyer miles to collect moments. With only his backpack and sense of wonder, he spends months away from home, trekking into remote regions to capture the perfect shot. Morocco was not on his current itinerary. Postponing a long overdue vacation, Rasmus heads to the sovereign kingdom for a friend's art exhibit.
Yasmine and Hassan, college friends turned married couple, host Rasmus for his stay. What begins as a joyful reunion escalates into tension-filled minutes. Between heated words and miscommunication, Rasmus seeks comfort behind his camera. When visiting an Amazigh village, Rasmus meets Nasrin, one of the last traditional tattooists in the Middle Atlas Mountains. The intriguing woman offers unprecedented access to photograph an intimate tattooing session. Needle and ink, incense in a darkened room, the secrets of the feminine world revealed.
Nasrin's sureness, her fortitude, leaves Rasmus entranced. Connected through, they spend an unforgettable night sharing untold secrets. Time is a precious commodity, and it dwindles with exceptional speed. Will their meeting be the culmination of their relationship, or will the smoldering spark transform into a passionate inferno?
