From the moment he rescued Badra from Sheik Fareeq, Khepri,
a Khamsin Warrior of the Wind, has devoted his life to
keeping her safe. As time passes, his feelings of
protectiveness grow into something much stronger. Khepri is
anxious to marry Badra and would give up the world for her,
but although Badra returns his feelings, her brutal
treatment at the hands of Sheik Fareeq has left her afraid
of men and the physical side of love. Too ashamed to admit
what happened to her, and determined that Khepri deserves a
woman who can love him totally, Badra refuses to marry him.
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.
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
