Qadir Sheikhs Series

Holly Remington can't believe the burning chemistry she feels with Sheikh Malik Abdul-Rahman. It's like getting knocked in the head with a baseball bat—except far more pleasant. Though she's supposed to be all business while her company tries to win a lucrative development contract in the oil-rich country of Qadir, Holly simply can't stop herself from happily succumbing to his charm. When she's called back home after her father suffers a stroke, thoughts of her sheikh romance are never far away. It's only when she's ready to return to Qadir to continue her work that she discovers Malik gave her more than sexy memories. She's pregnant—with twins. And when she sees him again, Malik makes it painfully clear he's not only rejecting her development proposal, he's not interested in any other formal proposal either. He wants all of her.    But Holly isn't sure that's available, or ever will be.    Sheikh Malik has never reacted to another woman like he does Holly. She's all business—at least in the beginning—and he finds himself oddly compelled to get to know her other side. Intimately. When he finds out she's pregnant with his children, he find himself wanting her more. But when Holly begins to talk about how she wants to develop his oasis herself—the one that her company had been desperate to buy and the very one his mother loved and hoped one day would belong to Malik's future wife, he pulls the breaks on their whirlwind romance. How can he love a woman who seems so out of touch with everything he values?  And yet, how can he not love the only woman whose ever touched his soul?

Makayla Riggs is convinced her father was wrongfully convicted, and she's going to prove it. Her father died in prison in Qadir, a tiny Arabic country, after being found guilty of stealing a diamond from the royal family. Convinced her father was framed by the al Baians, the powerful family he was working for, Makayla heads to Qadir and finds an unlikely ally in Sheikh Baqir Abdul-Rahman, who has his own suspicions about the al Baians. As the two work together to uncover the truth, Makayla can't help but find herself falling under the charming sheikh's spell. How can she not when Baqir is the only one who believes her father was framed?   Baqir is trying to solve several other jewelry thefts and knows he's treading in dangerous territory to place blame for all the thefts on the al Baians. Yet he finds himself willing to do just about anything to help Makayla. Their long nights investigating the original theft brings them closer, and it isn't long before the two finally give in to the red-hot chemistry that's been torturing them since they met. When Makayla is threatened by the al Baians, Baqir is desperate to protect her; a kind of desperation that feels like more than chemistry: he's fallen deeply in love with the beautiful American. But will Baqir be too late to save Makayla, will she disappear forever from his life?

Emily Baker is in a heap of trouble. Her beloved horse farm is struggling financially, and she's just found out her late father sold her favorite horse to a sheikh from a country she's never heard of. The buyer, Zaman Abdul-Rahman is sexy as all get-out, the sort of man who makes a fling with a sheikh seem like a good idea. But Emily isn't looking for romance, and certainly not with the overbearing alpha male who shows up to take away her beloved and pregnant horse, Riah. Emily refuses to let him until Zaman makes her a generous offer: he's taking Riah, but he'll also buy another horse and bring Emily to Qadir for six months to train it for an important race. Despite her hesitation, Emily knows the influx of cash will be enough to save the farm. Before she knows it, she's traveling to the tiny kingdom and being seduced, not only by this beautiful foreign land but by Zaman, who's just too gorgeous to resist.    Zaman isn't the sort of man to fall for a woman, especially one with such a fierce streak of independence. But he can't help being wildly attracted to the beautiful American, and he secretly admires her strength and intelligence. Emily will only be in Qadir for six months, so what's the problem with giving into their searing passion for a short fling? After all, he's an expert at not growing too attached to anyone.

His protective instincts kick into high gear—and end up pushing Emily away. It soon becomes clear, though, that the only race he wants to win is the one for Emily's heart…
