Looking for a historical fiction. Author might be Frank Yerby or Frank Slaughter. Takes place in the days of the Barbary pirates. An Englishman is caught, sold into slavery at a rock quarry, befriended by a Bedouin sheik who takes him from the quarry but only for the sheik's life time when he has to go back to the quarry. However he falls in love with the sheik's young wife who resques him from the quarry and goes back to England with him.
I read this back in the 60's.
