Now that everyone realized this was for real, that he’d just sent her away, their yammering curiosity turned to vocal concern. Some strode by her side, anxiously asking if they could help, if she needed anything. The way she waved away their interest and offers of help told him she was barely hol...
Johara gaped at Shaheen as the realization sank through her, splashed like a rock into her gut.She should have known that he wouldn’t.Why should he? He’d probably forgotten she existed.Even if he hadn’t, she looked nothing like the fourteen-year-old he’d known.That was due in part to her own late...
One that sounded like hers. It seemed the past weeks had damaged what had been left of her sanity. She’d made her initial request for a meeting with it already strained. But as time had ticked by and her chances of meeting him had diminished, her stamina had dwindled right along. She’d thought sh...
He had to last until he got Talia back to the oasis. Those who’d ridden with him offered again to take care of her, of both of them. He couldn’t let them. Wouldn’t.

If fact, only three things had.They all involved Carmen.The way he’d felt when he laid eyes on her. Her telling him she’d had enough of him and walking out. And now, her request.A clean slate.She was asking him to surrender his anger, to deny his memory, to erase his knowledge of her crimes. She ...
No wonder Moorish poets described it as “pearls set in emeralds.” That was exactly what this place and the town and countryside it overlooked resembled. Pearly buildings set in emerald nature. They should have added the sapphire, aquamarine and gold of the sea, sky and sandy beaches to the settin...
Glory winced at her best friend’s shrill stupefaction. She was already regretting telling Amelia anything. But Glory had felt her head and heart might explode if she didn’t tell someone. And it couldn’t have been her mother. Glenda Monaghan would have a breakdown if she knew what her husband and ...
He’d called within an hour to say that Jalal’s original offer wouldn’t be “adjusted.” Lujayn had the feeling that Jalal hadn’t even let him state his suggestion. Figured. Jalal made his decisions then made everyone bow to them. She would have wished this one would bite him...
The only way to catch up with him would be to sprint. She didn’t. He wanted to keep the distance between them. She let him keep it. All the way to his bedroom. He strode through the open double doors, disappeared inside. A sm...
Then it had diverged onto a totally unexpected path.Instead of continuing his seduction, he’d risen to his feet. He now stood brooding down at her.“Rashid, arjook...”Was that her voice? That thick, covetous rasp?But who could blame her? The man she’d fantasized about all her life was standing bef...
He was...he was... “I’ve been referred to in some extremely unflattering ways before,” he drawled. “‘Him’ wasn’t among them.” “I mean you’re...that man?” “‘That man’ is also not what I want to hear on your lips.” ...
