THE SHEIKH AND THE VIRGIN by Kim Lawrence

Prince Tariq Al Kamal knows the woman his brother is about to marry is wrong for him and to prove it he planned to pay her off but when that doesn’t work he plans to seduce her himself.

Beatrice Devlin realizes that Tariq has made a big mistake.  She is not engaged to his brother Kahalid, but her good friend Emma is.  The three of them decide to get back at Tariq and win his approval of Emma by pretending Bea is Kahalid’s betrothed.  Bea will behave so badly that when Kahalid breaks the pretend engagement and introduces Emma as his true love, Tariq will gladly welcome Emma with open arms.  Alas, the best laid plans go awry and Tariq falls for Bea but not before breaking her heart.

Great strong characters, exotic local and a fun infused plot make THE SHEIKH AND THE VIRGIN a must read from bestselling author Kim Lawrence.

KEPT FOR THE SHEIKH’S PLEASURE by Lynn Raye Harris

Dr. Genie Gray was kidnapped from her archeological dig in the desert and given as a gift to the King Zafir bin Rashid al-Khalifa.  Things couldn’t be worse it seemed, but Zafir is Genie’s former lover from her college days when he was a prince.  They were in love but Genie refused to become Zafir’s mistress as he married the woman chosen to be his wife those many years ago.  Now, she is under his power and under his spell, the feelings for him have not lessened.

Zafir has lost two wives since he left Genie and he is entranced by her still.  He proposes that she remain so as not to give offence to the sheikh that presented Genie to him and until he has settled the quarrels among the sheikhs in his kingdom.  In exchange, she may excavate the ancient temples of his land.  The two can not seem to keep their hands to themselves and Zafir begins to question the outdated laws which prevent him from marrying an outsider.  But in the end, he sees no way to keep Genie safe and lets her go.  Can Zafir keep to the old ways or will his heart win out?

Master storyteller Lynn Raye Harris brilliantly weaves heart-stopping romance into her beautiful stories.  In KEPT FOR THE SHEIKH’S PLEASURE, an independent heroine, Genie tames alpha hero Zafir with her trust and love .  This is a decidedly  compelling book about second chances and rediscovery.
