Tarik Kadir, tagged as a chameleon and an expert in making up stories, is a retired US Government Covert Agent. Tarik has agreed to help his family who is in war with Taj Zabbar, a third world nation, engaged in buying nuclear weapons on the black market through auction. He is concerned when he's partnered with a gorgeous CIA Covert Agent, Jasmine O'Reilly. They work for different reasons but for the same end result. Jass (posing as Celile Kocak, the "Messenger") and Tarik (posing as her lover, Sheik Zohdi) soon learns that her partner is far too sexy and handsome to keep at arm's length.

Dodging bullets and surrounded by death and deception, the auction takes them to Rio during Carnivale. Tarik's older brothers, Darin and Shakir, aid them in searching to secure the powerful weapon up for auction, while they run for their lives after realizing they have been set up by someone within their own operation. With a covert assignment turned bad, Tarik also worries about what is happening to his own traitorous heart while he is drawn into mind blowing sex with Jass.

SECRET AGENT SHEIK is another book in the new Desert Sons series from Linda Conrad. Again Linda has filled this story with sensuality, excitement, and total suspense. It compels you to read until the last page is turned. This is a story that you wish would go on and on. The family feud with the Taj Zabbar is intriguing and filled with international terror. This is an absolutely fantastic read and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys the mystery and excitement of covert operations. Keep them coming!

Book Summary

Jass O'Reilly doesn't trust ex-agent Tarik Kadir. A bedouin from an ancient tribe, the dark and brooding Tarik isn't who the lovely CIA agent wants by her side as she tracks down rogue nuclear weapons. Besides, the mysterious sheik is just too handsome for an agent—the passion burning in his eyes a little too hot.

Tarik knows Jass doesn't want him by her side as they delve deeper into the sultry Rio nightlife. Well, tough. But before the Carnivale is over, he will have to question everything he thought he knew about his mission, his job and his family. His own heart, he just might find, is the traitor.
