Mastered by the Sheikh

By Opal Carew

Kidnapped by a ruthless sheikh intent on revenge, Lily’s only ally is a man from her past she cannot trust.

Lily’s vacation to paradise turns into a nightmare when she’s kidnapped and taken to a sheikh’s vacation hideaway where she’s blindfolded, chained, and presented to the sheikh’s brother as a gift. She’s shocked to discover her new “owner” is a man from her past.

Yasin refuses to return home to Marjah to celebrate his 30th birthday with his family, until his brother offers to have them all meet on a private, tropical island. When he arrives to celebrate, Omar presents him with a very special gift. The woman who rejected Yasin in college five years earlier. A woman Yasin has never stopped loving.

When Yasin sees Lily chained, frightened, and at his mercy, his deeply rooted family genes urge him to punish her for the immeasurable pain she caused him with her callous rejection. To dominate her until she surrenders totally to his will, quivering in his arms.

But his heart is wrenched by the sight of her terrified and powerless. He walks a fine line between keeping Lily safe and appeasing his powerful brother. At the same time, he struggles to keep his own unwanted urges in check.

He is committed to protecting Lily from being ravaged by his ruthless family, but can he protect her from his own barbaric desires?

I really wish you had gone with someone.

Lily frowned at the email her sister had sent—the same sentiment Trudy had conveyed several times already—as the other passengers started moving up the aisle to disembark the aircraft.

I told you. It’s a singles’ resort. The whole idea is to meet people there. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.

She tucked her cell phone back into her purse and stood up to pull her luggage from the overhead rack, then moved along with the flow of people leaving the plane. Once at the door, she stepped into the heat of the passageway to the airport at Mexico City.

She had a two hour layover before her flight left for Ixtapa and the lovely singles resort that was her destination. She’d never won anything before and she intended to enjoy this trip. Maybe meet a nice man. It had definitely been a while.

After she went through Customs, she stepped into the terminal and glanced around, trying to orient herself. She wasn’t quite sure where to go for her connecting flight.

Miss Darien? A beautiful woman in a navy suit stepped toward Lily.

Yes?

Congratulations on winning your trip to the luxury resort, Ginesse in Ixtapa. I’m Miss Jonas from Ginesse International and I’ll escort you to the VIP lounge.

Thank you. Lily shook the hand the woman offered.

Miss Jonas took the handle of Lily’s carry-on and started to walk. The woman was stunning with her long, black hair and flawless caramel skin. She wasn’t Mexican and Lily couldn’t place her accent.

She walked quickly and Lily had a bit of trouble keeping up. It had been a long flight and she really didn’t want to race through the airport. They were passing by various restaurants and Lily just wanted to settle at a table and enjoy a nice lunch.

Excuse me, Miss Jonas. She hurried to catch up so she could walk beside the woman. I think I’ll skip the lounge and grab some lunch. You could just give me directions to the gate for my next flight and I’ll make my own way there.

No, no. You really must come and enjoy the VIP lounge. You can have a drink and get something to eat there. The woman started walking faster. It’s really not far.

Something seemed odd and Lily reached for the handle of her bag, but the other woman sped up.

I really don’t want to go to the lounge, Lily said.

Miss Jonas frowned. All right. Let me recommend a nice restaurant just ahead.

The woman steered Lily to the left and reached for what looked like a service door.

This is a shortcut, Miss Jonas explained as she opened the heavy door.

No, I don’t think this is a good idea. Lily tried again to grab the handle of the suitcase, but the woman was through the door already. Lily turned, deciding to get security, and found two men with steely gazes had closed in on them and blocked her escape.

Before she could yell for help, an arm snaked around her and something covered her mouth. As she breathed in the pungent scent, she felt dizzy and weak.

Everything went black.

Yasin strolled to the terrace doors then paused. He had just arrived and was about to see his family for the first time in three years.

Somehow, he had allowed them to pressure him into coming here for a huge celebration in honor of his thirtieth birthday.

When his eldest brother, Omar, had first summoned him, Yasin had flatly refused, unwilling to return to Marjah, the small country on the south of the Persian Gulf that his family—more specifically, Omar—ruled. Yasin had made a clean break from his home when he’d made the permanent move to the U.S. three years ago, and he’d promised himself not to return.

The way his family did things was not his way. And never would be.

Omar had been livid, of course. But once he’d realized that despite all his money and power, he could not force Yasin to come—barring kidnapping him—he’d calmed down and done what he always did.

Found a way to get what he wanted.

Omar had made an unprecedented offer of compromise when he’d bought this beautiful tropical island—complete with this luxurious villa—so they could come together for the celebration.

Because of that gesture, Yasin had capitulated.

He drew in a deep breath and stepped outside, breathing in the refreshing
