The Sheiks Sensuous Trap

Trapped - and it was all her fault! Alea Al-Basiri is trapped, irrevocably and unmercifully, when she finds out that her one and only night of incredible passion is with her family's sworn enemy, Rashid Bin Faisar, King of Ibel. Getting away from him had been easy, the first time. But when his web closes around her, she finds that she is bound by law to marry the man who has waged war against her country for more than a decade. She's horrified that she's now facing a loveless political marriage - a scenario she's fought against her whole life. Rashid is astonished to find the young beauty not only intelligent and stubborn, but also his perfect mate. Curbing that stubbornness will be his challenge - a task he's more than willing to accept. Unfortunately, Alea's heart has already fallen for the strong, handsome and vastly intelligent man. She loves everything about him - his compassion and strength as well as his love of his country. How can she get him to accept her love, and love her as well?

Ella is young and impressionable, and awed by Zayn who comes back into her life like a returning hero. After one night of passion, not only has her hero fallen, but so has she.

Sidra couldn’t believe it when the man stormed into her life.

Was he marrying her only to protect his unborn child, Sidra worried? Or was there more to his feelings than just preserving the next heir to the throne?

Their story began five years ago. Callie fell madly, crazily in love with Zahir. But the war in his country was raging and nurturing their relationship was tenuous at best. When Callie was captured, the experience was terrifying. Zahir found and rescued her, but he knew it would be impossible to insulate her from danger in his country. Despite his wishes to be together, he knew that to keep her safe he must send her away. However, he wouldn’t let her go until she was his bride. In a secret wedding, he married her, and then spirited her to safety. She arrived in her haven traumatized, fearful, homeless…and pregnant. Slowly, she rebuilt her life, gave birth to her son and somehow learned to get on with living without Zahir. For five long years, Callie recovered from the nightmare of her captivity. And she raises her son. When Zahir enters her life once more, she can’t believe that the fire between them is hotter than before. But she refuses to give in, despite its intensity.

She yearns to feel safe, but can she defy her heart or deny her son his father?

Luna couldn’t believe the chain of events that had led to her wedding day. All she’d wanted was to save her small village, to help the residents to get out from underneath their crippling debt. So she’d written to the man who owned the bank. And here she was, walking down the aisle toward a man she barely knew. A man who could make her body sing but who could crush her hopes and dreams with a few harsh words. Dassar needed a wife. The lovely Luna fit none of his criteria. She was too soft, too sweet and would be hurt by palace life. So why couldn’t he forget her? Why could she get under his skin so easily? And why couldn’t he simply walk away?

Caught! Princess Ciala couldn’t believe that she’d been captured and was standing in a police station, goons all around her. And the biggest (albeit incredibly handsome) goon of all was stealing her camera along with all of her research! She couldn’t let this happen. And when she found a way to escape, she took it. Unfortunately, the very next day, that same goon, even more dashing in a suit and tie, stood next to her brother and was introduced to her as Sheik Jurar al Tinoor of Drakar! Jurar was still fuming about a rebel’s escape – not to mention his realization that the rebel was a woman. And then he ran into her again in his rival’s palace! After listening to the lovely woman, and discovering a powerful attraction, he decided that the only solution was to marry her. But was she working with the rebel leader? The evidence was starting to unfold – against her!

Dana Miller wanted anonymity, invisibility and security. She'd given up ambition and excitement a year ago when she'd witnessed a murder. Now she was running from men who were trying to keep her from testifying. Finding a job inside the palace of the Sheik of Odar was perfect! No one associated with any criminal enterprises could get onto the palace grounds.

She lost her anonymity, her security and her heart to the dynamic sheik who turned her world upside down. Hassan had never met anyone as independent and spirited, not to mention beautiful, lush and opinionated as the ever cheerful Dana Miller.

How could he not fall for someone like that? He just needed to find out what she was hiding!
