Alina el Rashid is a sexy and independent firebrand whose wild ways have created one scandal too many for her conservative family. Exiled to her brother’s remote villa as punishment, Alina is starved for the touch of a man and aching to rebel—when she meets Brian Shearer, the stunningly handsome American pilot who’s being hailed as a hero. And as his quiet sensuality excites her in ways even the untamed Alina never imagined, she vows to find a way to overcome his stubborn refusal to open his heart to her.
After enduring years of hell as an enemy prisoner, Brian was crushed into further despair when he returned home to find that his wife had left him for dead and married another man. With nothing left to live for, he moves halfway around the word to escape his pain—and meets Alina, a tempting beauty whose dark eyes flash with a passion that promises endless sensuality. Overwhelmed by this intensely alluring woman and his own inhibitions, Brian struggles to resist her openly erotic intentions while yearning for her love.
As these two vulnerable hearts discover an undeniable desire growing between them, Alina must convince Brian of her newfound devotion, while Brian must free himself from all the forces holding him back to fill both their lives with exquisite pleasure and eternal love.
Genre: FICTION / Romance / ContemporaryThe series has been a bestseller, and several of the titles within it have won prestigious writing awards.
That night, as he stood on the balcony outside the same bedroom he’d stayed in after his rescue and looked out at the ships’ lights flickering in the distance in the Persian Gulf, Brian tried to put his fantasy woman out of his mind.
But she haunted his memories. And her exotically beautiful face reminded him eerily of Alina el Rashid. Could she . . . ?
No. It wasn’t possible that Alina could have been on the plane when he’d enjoyed that sinfully erotic dream. Bear had said his sister had left Houston months before his arrival there—and that she’d been working at a hospital in Kuwait City up until the day before yesterday.
He had no trouble imagining the flirtatious young doctor stripping down and dancing with the same sort of abandon, though. The conservative skirt and blouse she’d worn tonight had done little to hide voluptuous womanly curves, and her dark eyes had flashed with the same passion for life as his dream lover’s.
He was losing his mind. Brian needed to get to work, bury himself in something to take his mind off the sensual thoughts that threatened to consume him. Good thing he was heading out to Jamil’s oil field in the morning.
Later that night, while he lay between sheets even silkier than those he’d slept between on Bear’s company plane, he realized he’d gone for hours this evening without grieving for home. When he rubbed the smooth eye of the necklace Zayed had insisted had magical powers, he thought perhaps the old Marsh Arab had been right to suggest he make a new life for himself here.
