About the book
Kismet – a force as gentle as an Arabian night, yet as cruel as the desert heat – brought Linda Layne from mock-Tudor suburbia to the arms of the only man she could ever love. Then on their wedding night it dealt the cruellest of cards. Sheikh Karim el Khalid was a man proud of his Arab blood, too scarred by the events of his childhood to let love grow between them once he had discovered Linda’s background. Yet love was the only thing that would bridge the gap between his own and Linda’s heritage.
