Soon it's revealed that Khepri, who's ridden with the Khamsin since his English family was slaughtered, is actually Kenneth Tristan, heir to the Duke of Caldwell. Heartbroken, and unable to remain near the woman he loves and be unable to touch her, Kenneth turns his back on Egypt and all he's known. He journeys to England to accept his inheritance, expecting never to encounter Badra again.
When treasures from Kenneth's family's archeological dig site are being stolen, he returns to Egypt to catch the thief, and there he and Badra meet again. It's obvious that they still love each other, and just as obvious that Badra is no nearer to conquering her fear of passion. Can Kenneth help her overcome her fear?
Ms. Vanak sweeps the reader away with a fast-paced tale of adventure, intrigue, betrayal and the healing power of love. With love scenes that are hotter than the sun- scorched sand of the desert that surrounds the lovers, this is a book you won't want to put down until the final page.
Book Summary
THE SAND
Badra sought refuge in the Sahara, but she could never truly escape the sheikh who'd stolen her childhood. Fareeq had proven that her long dark hair and lush body aroused a passion in men that meant only pain-and neither his death nor protection by her rescuers, the Khamsin, the Warriors of the Wind, could change that. Badra could no more forget her past than one Khamsin's burning sapphire eyes. And she could no more accept the feelings Khepri aroused than she could admit the secret shadowing her heart.
& THE FURY
Kenneth Tristan, heir to the duke of Caldwell, had ridden with the Khamsin since his English family's slaughter. Known as Khepri, the Cobra, he'd grown up in Egypt and loved the land. Yet, now, all was sand in the wind. The love of his Arabic brothers, the title that awaited him in London, the treasures from his family's archaeological dig - all was nothing, for he could not protect Badra, could not avenge her past and win her love. He would sacrifice all to make her whole. But until he did just that, they would still be just... THE COBRA & THE CONCUBINE
