Desert Kings Complete Boxed Set (Books 1-6) by Diana Fraser Pdf

Escape to the lands of the Desert Kings with this boxed set of six contemporary romances containing the complete series. You'll find powerful sheikhs, strong women, and mystery and intrigue. So pour a glass of something long and cool and sit back and enjoy the heat and passion which await you in the land of the Desert Kings. Wanted: A Wife for the Sheikh (Book 1) Crown Prince Malek of Sumaira needs the respectability of a wife—fast. Or at least his country does. And his new PA is happy to help him find one. After looking after her sick mother for years, the last thing Sophie wants is to be tied down. But will the idea of being tied down by this Michael Fassbender clone become an obsession she needs to get out of her system before it’s too late. The Sheikh’s Bargain Bride (Book 2) The ultimate controlling sheikh, Zahir Al-Zaman is so obsessed with freedom-loving Anna Whitman that he traps her into marriage. But he won’t force her into his bed; he has his strategies for seduction. Despite an intense attraction, Anna refuses to be seduced because she won’t have a relationship based on lies. But how can she reveal secrets that will destroy the beliefs he holds most dear? The Sheikh’s Lost Lover (Book 3) When commitment-phobe Lucy finds herself falling for the King of Sitra, she wants to run. But she can’t. He’s her only clue to her missing sister. Razeen is determined to do his duty as King, even if it means an arranged marriage. But he has two weeks before he has to choose a wife. Two weeks in which to have an affair with Lucy. What could go wrong? Awakened by the Sheikh (Book 4) Cara Devlin’s sexy voice lands her the job as translator to the King of Ma’in with a salary that will ensure she can leave Ma’in, and the painful memories of a husband who used her, and start afresh. King Tariq is devoted to his children, his country and remaining single. He soon realizes Cara could prove useful in his business negotiations... but only providing she doesn’t know she’s being used. Claimed by the Sheikh (Book 5) With an arranged, love-free marriage looming, Prince Sahmir of Ma’in is enjoying his last night in Paris when Aurora runs by, fleeing for her life. All Rory wants is to regain the estates her father lost to the Russian mafia. She hadn't planned on being kidnapped by the Russian, or living with a sheikh and she certainly hadn’t planned on a baby. Wanted: A Baby by the Sheikh (Book 6) “You walked away from our wedding and kept on walking. And I hear nothing from you for a year, except a trail of credit card charges. Now you return saying you want our baby. What the hell is going on, Taina?” But Finnish heiress, Taina, can't answer Prince Daidan's question without destroying his world. So Daidan comes up with a proposal of his own...

Desert Kings Book 2: Zadir by Jennifer Lewis Pdf

Royal heir Zadir Al Kilanjar is determined to woo renowned architect Veronica Baxter to his homeland of Ubar to design his palace—and become his wife. Ronnie first met Zadir when their plane crashed in the Empty Quarter (Desert Kings – Veronica – Stranded with the Sheikh) and she hasn’t been able to get the seductive sheikh out of her mind. With her career in high gear and her heart surrounded by more stone walls than her projects, she’s resolved to resist Zadir’s advances—but he’s just as determined to win her. EXCERPT: “I’ve always had a vivid imagination.” Right now her imagination was causing her all kinds of trouble. Zadir’s arms still hung by his sides, but she could visualize them wrapping around her as they had that scary night in the desert, when he’d held her close and offered her comfort—and so much more. And that mouth. Damn it, but she wanted to kiss him. It wasn’t fair of him to stand so close to her, those sensual lips just a few inches away, tantalizing her with the memory of them on her own. “Uh, I guess I should get some sleep.” “Yes.” He didn’t budge. His eyes had turned ocean blue and gazed right into hers. She couldn’t move. Or breathe. How did he have this effect on her? This was exactly why she didn’t return his phone calls. Why she knew she needed to stay far, far away from him. It happened so slowly that it didn’t quite seem real. There was certainly no conscious thought or intention involved. One moment she was thinking about how she should definitely not kiss Zadir Al Kilanjar, and the next moment she was doing it. Their lips came together like a force of nature that couldn’t be stopped—a flash flood or a bolt of lighting striking out of the clear blue sky. Suddenly his arms were around her, just as she’d imagined, and her palms pressed into his back. Desire raced through her with alarming force, deepening the kiss and drawing them closer. A tiny groan escaped her mouth, which should have shocked her into stopping, but she was too far gone in the all-enveloping kiss. Zadir’s heart beat against her chest as he held her close. His passion was evident in the way he caressed and kissed her like his life depended on it.

A Taste of Heaven by Jennifer Lewis Pdf

Samantha Hardcastle is horrified when the sensual stranger she has a one-night fling with turns out to be her long-lost stepson. Restauranteur Louis DuLac prefers his relationships short and sweet but he’s floored by deep feelings for the beautiful and loving woman who won’t let him touch her again. The thrice-married “Merry Widow” has washed her hands of love—until she starts to realize that she’s never truly known it before. EXCERPT: Louis rose and placed his hands on her waist. “Didn’t you receive some advice to follow your heart?” Sam frowned. “Madame Ayida? Oh, please, I’m sure she just makes that stuff up to entertain the tourists. What kind of a cliché is ‘follow your heart,’ anyway?” “A powerful one.” He buried his face in her neck and pressed his lips softly to her skin. “I followed mine here.” His deep voice penetrated her fog of anxiety. “Your heart?” He looked up, and met her gaze with those haunting eyes. “I do have one, you know, despite what they say.” “And what is it telling you?” She spoke slowly, her voice shaking. Maybe he’d say something that would let them both off the hook. That would be fine. Good even. Her heart hammered behind her ribs. “It’s telling me I’ve met a very special woman. A woman so generous and caring that people assume she must have an ulterior motive.” Frowning, he looked into her eyes. “A woman who has so much love to give that the world can’t seem to absorb it all and keeps throwing it back in her face.” He brushed her cheek with his thumb. “And I’m not fool enough to let you throw away what we’ve found together.” Sam’s heart squeezed. She managed to keep her breathing under control. “What have we found?” She cursed herself instantly after asking the stupid question. What did she want to hear? That he loved her? How lame could she get? She didn’t even want him to love her. They couldn’t have any kind of relationship given the weird family situation, so the whole thing was just pointless and stupid and painful and... A whimper escaped her mouth as Louis took her into his embrace and held her so tight she couldn’t possibly escape even if she wanted to. Explore the Billionaires' Secrets series: A family scattered by pride and greed—brought back together by love. Book 1: Volatile Chemistry (Dominic and Bella) Book 2: Grapes of Wrath (Amado and Susannah) Book 3: A Taste of Heaven (Louis and Samantha) Boxed set of all three books.

Claimed by the Sheikh by Diana Fraser Pdf

"Thank you soo Much Ms. Fraser for introducing me to this wonderful genre of Sheikhs ;) but sadly I haven't found anyone's I like as much as yours..." (Amazon review) "This author weaves a great story and I love her characters, the mental pictures she drew in my mind of these lands in her tales. I feel as if I have been there. Read and enjoy." (Amazon review) Prince Sahmir al-Fulan had one more night in Paris before returning home to Ma’in to begin a new life with an arranged marriage, in a country he’d help make wealthy. And that was fine by him. He’d failed the women in his life before and he had no intention of opening his heart and making the same mistakes again. But then Aurora de Chambery came running into his life, down a snowy street, wearing nothing but a ball gown. And his impulsive, gallant nature won out. He had to rescue her from the man she was running from. Even if it meant risking not only his life and reputation, but his heart. Despite appearances, beautiful French aristocrat Aurora de Chambéry, better known to her family as Rory, is an out and out tomboy. She’d rather be stomping about in rubber boots through the fields of her impoverished family estate than dressed to the nines, mixing with the rich and famous. But when her father loses the family estate to a Russian mafia boss through gambling, she ends up being held against her will by the Russian. Her only hope of escape is to be won at cards by a foreign Prince and taken far from the land she loves. It’s not the stuff of her dreams and she plans to escape just as soon as she can. What she hadn’t planned for was a baby... --Desert Kings-- Wanted: A Wife for the Sheikh The Sheikh's Bargain Bride The Sheikh's Lost Lover Awakened by the Sheikh Claimed by the Sheikh Wanted: A Baby by the Sheikh --The Sheikhs of Havilah-- The Sheikh’s Secret Baby Bought by the Sheikh The Sheikh’s Forbidden Lover Surrender to the Sheikh Taken for the Sheikh's Harem --Secrets of the Sheikhs-- The Sheikh's Revenge by Seduction The Sheikh's Secret Love Child The Sheikh's Marriage Trap

Desert Queen by Janet Wallach Pdf

The life of Gertrude Bell is now the subject of the major motion picture Queen of the Desert, starring Nicole Kidman, James Franco and Damian Lewis Turning away from privileged Victorian Britain, Gertrude Bell explored, mapped and excavated the world of the Arabs, winning the trust of Arab sheiks and chieftains along the way. When the First World War erupted and the British needed the loyalty of Arab leaders, Gertrude Bell provided the intelligence for T.E. Lawrence's military activities. After the war, she played a major role in creating the modern Middle East, and was generally considered the most powerful woman in the British Empire. In this major reassessment of Bell's life, Janet Wallach reveals a woman whose achievements and independent spirit were especially remarkable for her times, and who brought the same passion and intensity to her explorations as she did to her rich and romantic life.
