Because of her psychic talent and her fighting abilities, Fatima becomes the first female Khamsin warrior of the wind and Tarik's bodyguard. Tarik, the sheikh's proud son, fights to have her removed and assign her to a different position... in his bed.

From very young, Fatima knew she must do battle. It had nothing to do with her Sight, those visions of the future tormenting her since childhood. No, Fatima knew her destiny because every fiber of her body cried out for it...just as every fiber of her body cried out for Tarik, her friend, the impossibly handsome "White Falcon" who was next in line to lead her tribe. They went together like the sun and the searing desert sand, like a sword and a sheath. She had been trained by her father Ramses, the old sheikh's bodyguard, and though her twin brother was intended to take over the role, only Fatima could do so.

Yet, women of the Khamsin were not warriors. And the sons of sheikhs did not wish to have their lives saved by women any more than they wished to fall in love with childhood friends. Though he stared at her with passion hotter than the very Sahara, it would take deception and devotion for Fatima to protect her lord. Tradition be damned, she would fulfill her destiny. And Tarik would love her forever.
