About this ebook

As an ambitious American journalist, Amy Mathewson will stop at nothing to get her story—including going into dangerous, rebel-infested countries. But when she stumbles across seven-year-old Aisha in an orphanage her heart melts, and Amy vows to keep her safe. 


Until the rebels start to close in.


Just when Amy thinks they’re in grave danger, a stunning Sheikh arrives, claiming Aisha as his daughter; a Sheikh with smoldering dark eyes and the kind of handsome that is difficult to forget. Unwilling to let Aisha go with a stranger, Amy agrees to accompany the Sheikh and Aisha to a safe house to confirm his claim. But it may not be safe for Amy, not with a sexy Sheikh making her feel things she hasn’t felt in a long time—and whose touch is as hot as the desert sun.


All his life, Sheikh Bahir Karawi has taken care of himself, knowing no one else would. When he discovers he has a daughter, he immediately sets out to bring her home, to make sure she never feels as alone as he always has. What he doesn’t count on is butting heads with the fiercely protective and dangerously beautiful Amy, who has taken up the duties of caring for his daughter. As they get to know one another, he can’t ignore the searing attraction he feels, nor the realization that Amy would be perfect, both for his daughter and for him. 


As the rebels close in, Bahir realizes he will do anything to keep his daughter and Amy safe—even if that means putting his very life at risk.

Sheikh Bahir Karawi had come home to attend his brother Iman's wedding to an American and then decided to stay. His lying, deceitful Uncle Salah has now died. As Bahir sat tapping his fingers on his uncle’s desk, he discovered a secret compartment which contained letters addressed to him that he had never received. He discovered that he had a daughter whose mother had died, so she was sent to an orphanage. Bahir begins to search for his daughter, aware that rebellion is threatening and things could get dangerous. Unfortunately, the rebels also found out about Bahir’s daughter and they are looking for her as well! Amy is a journalist who comes to the Middle East, to a small kingdom called Haamas. She ends up volunteering at the orphanage and becomes attached to a young girl named Aisha. She is very protective of Aisha and will keep her safe – even from the man who says she is his, but doesn’t know her name! The rebels had tracked the girl down to take her, but Amy wouldn’t give her up. Because Aisha appeared to be sick, Bahir took Amy with them and his daughter when he realized the rebels were nearby. Could Bahir protect them against the rebels? With the growing attraction between them, would they open their hearts for something more? Would they be willing to make their new family situation permanent with the daughter they both already loved? Great story that I loved from beginning to end. There is plenty of excitement, danger, and emotion in this book. The story line was really good, especially as we already saw how dishonest Uncle Salah was with his nephews. Here is another life he almost ruined! The reader will love the characters and will cheer for them as they do their best for Aisha. Definitely recommend this one – it’s a keeper!

An outstanding 2nd book in the ‘The Karawi Sheikhs’ series and it is a fast pace page-turner! The well-developed storyline is emotionally deep, well written, action-packed, and relatable. There are twists and turns, humour, witty banter, and ups and downs that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Amazing and strong characters; their chemistry is undeniable and off the charts. Looking forward to reading the next book. Definitely recommended.

About the author

Leslie North is the pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres. 


The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east. 


Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.
