Leila al Sinan bears the scars of a war that took her husband and left her desolate and alone. Taking refuge at a POW camp, she finds herself looking to an enemy prisoner to get what pleasure she still can from life. Expecting nothing more than a few stolen moments of sensual comfort, she soon finds herself discovering passion beyond her most wild imaginings, and as the man ignites her body and stirs her heart to new life, Leila is forced to make a decision that may change her life forever.
For eleven years Jamil as Hassan has suffered at the hands of the brutal prison warden and thinks only of survival and eventual escape. When a mysterious cloaked figure enters his cell and straddles his prone figure, whispering a shocking request, he instantly responds to her soft beauty and a pleasure he's been denied since his captivity began. As their desire and fulfillment grow more intense, Jamil hatches a plan that may save his life--but also force him to betray his honor, and his heart.
Daring to risk all, the two escape into the night for a long and perilous trek that will lead to salvation or sudden death. As trust grows between the former enemies, the two discover that love knows no borders, and they must fight to stay alive to find a happiness forged by fire and sealed by passion.
This series is among my bestselling, and several of the novels included in the series have won prestigious writing awards.
If Maktoum had managed to cross into Kuwait and contact Dahoud, help should already be on the way. If not . . .
Jamil wouldn’t consider that possibility, though it was very real. In less than eight hours, he would be on his way to freedom.
Or death. But it would be better to die escaping than wait for Dubaq to do the job.
His leg irons chafed his ankles as he shuffled alongside Brian toward the broken pump that so far had been keeping them both alive as long as they repaired it. “Tonight,” he whispered in English, unsure whether the guard who accompanied them today could understand.
“You are certain the woman will release you from your shackles, and that you can take the key from her?” Brian asked after the guard had taken himself away to the shade of a scraggly palm tree.
Jamil shrugged. “Nothing is certain but that we will be killed if we do not escape. If all goes well, you are to subdue the guard once your chains are released. Then we will head south along the railroad track, where the old man will be waiting at the crossroad not far from the edge of the oil field. With luck we should be able to reach the border by tomorrow evening or the next day, and my cousin will be there to meet us.”
