Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:

A sheikh without a country. A woman without fear. A love hotter than the Sahara.

In his heart, Viscount Blakeney will always be Sheikh Altair Mazir, but a deathbed oath to his English grandfather forces him to divide his time between Britain and his beautiful Sahara. A victim of prejudice from both cultures, he has learned a bitter lesson. Trust no one.

Yet when he witnesses firsthand the British Museum's rejection of Alexandra Talbot's request for assistance in finding the lost city of Ramesses II, he finds himself not only compelled to help, but donning his desert robes to hide his identity.

Alexandra is all too familiar with men who equate her sex with a lack of intelligence. But the mysterious Altair isn't like other men. He never questions her ability to find the lost city, only her resistance to the sinful pleasure of his touch.

Bound by a Pharaoh's prophecy, desire flares between them under the desert stars. But murder and betrayal turn their quest into a deadly game, pushing their fragile trust to the breaking point. A trust that must be reforged if they are to survive.

This book has been previously published by Samhain Publishing.

Warning: Contains a half-blood prince of the desert whose tortured Bedouin heart beats beneath a proper English cravat. And an American archaeologist who'll go a long way to fulfil her dreams.

We're in the Arabian desert for this 1880's romance. I enjoyed it very much. The plot line has the heroine, Alexandra Talbot, an American archeologist, searching for a legendary lost tomb with the help of Viscount Blakeney, who prefers to be called Altair once they arrive on Egyptian sands because unknown to her he is half-Bedouin and also carry's the title Sheikh Altair Mazir.
Alexandra is very tenacious in her search, her uncle and deceased father were obsessed in finding the tomb and have left her plenty notes to help her.
Since they had first met they'd been attracted to each other and with their close proximity now a physical relationship is on the cards.
But Altair still decides to keep his identity a secret and Alexandra is finding it hard to trust him completely.

I did like the story. There was a lot of falling out and making up. Sometimes I didn't think they would ever make it, I would like Altair then not much and then they'd make up again until the next stupid thing he'd say or Alexandra would changed her mind again about something, or fate would just get in their way. This did make the story a little repetitive but I did enjoy it nonetheless.
There is intrigue, hot romance and suspense, interesting characters and a very unique setting which makes this novel a very entertaining read. ( )

For Steve and Doug, two wonderful brothers-in-law, who unknowingly inspired me to pick up the pen again. Their simple observations about my writing inspired me to push on. If two guys who know nothing about romance books believed in me, then how could I help but believe in myself. Thanks and love to you both.
