Warning: this boxed set contains powerful sheikhs, strong-minded women, and the bedroom door remains open! The Sheikh's Revenge by Seduction (Book 1) A sheikh intent on revenge, an Englishwoman caught in a trap, a love that cannot be denied… Sheikh Rayan ibn Mohammed Aziz is as uncompromising as the desert in which he was raised. So when his half-sister is seduced, dumped, and ruined by a middle-aged English aristocrat, there is only one way in which Rayan intends to exact revenge. The only child of a notorious womanizer, Lauren Alexandra Le Harivel is the apple of her father’s eye. While he roams the world seeking pleasure, she's left by herself to run the family estate and dream of a different life. But when a darkly handsome stranger starts work on the family estate and makes her feel beautiful and desired, she agrees to return with him to his desert homeland. But what began as a means to vent Rayan's anger and avenge his sister's death turns into something very different under the heat of the desert sun and their love affair, which proves even hotter... The Sheikh's Secret Love Child (Book 2) A desert king, a beautiful surfer, a brief affair which puts them all in danger… Sheikh Zeeshan ibn Mohammed Aziz, King of Ahmar, believed he’d found the woman he wanted to marry when Samantha Cross came sweeping into his life with her devastating beauty and a character to match. But she’d disappeared without trace with equal speed. When he’s informed she’s pregnant with his baby, he tracks her down and brings her home. He knows what growing up without a father did to his half-siblings, and he won’t allow that to happen to his child. Sexy, freedom-loving Samantha had only accepted the dare to flirt with the Sheikh of Ahmar for a bit of fun. But she had no idea the ‘friend’ who’d issued the dare was involved with Russian Intelligence who planned to lure Zeeshan to his death. As soon as she discovered what was really going on, she went into hiding to protect her baby. But she hadn’t taken into account the determination of a man scorned, and not just any man—a sheikh, a desert king, a man who’d stop at nothing to get what he wanted. The Sheikh's Marriage Trap (Book 3) A sheikh dedicated to pleasure, a woman intent on revenge, a love that cannot be denied… Sheikh Adam ibn Mohammed Aziz enjoys a life of wheeling and dealing, seducing and flirting. He’s only doing what comes naturally, and loving women happens to come very naturally to him—so long as the women understand that they can never touch his heart. That’s why an arranged marriage will suit him nicely. He only has to make sure of one thing—he’s untainted by scandal. And he’s been too discreet to allow any scandal to attach itself to him. So far, anyway. Half-English, half-Ahmari, librarian Jasmine Delaney flirts with Adam for one reason only—he caused her beloved sister’s death. Her life will never be the same again and she needs the handsome Adam to understand the pain his careless affairs have caused. At first she’s not sure how she can do this. But all becomes clear when she discovers his Achilles Heel—he must appear to be free from scandal. So she decides she’ll give him a scandal which will destroy his future. Perhaps then he’ll understand, in a small way, the grief his womanizing has caused. But the best-laid plans of a vengeful woman can go astray, especially when she finds herself in a setting of exquisite beauty, in the company of a consummate seducer who has spent his life perfecting his ability to give and receive pleasure… Indulge in this boxed set today, and let the allure of Ahmar captivate your heart! 💖
