Exile or marriage, the choice is hers...
Sheikh Tariq al Askeba knows Lila Halliday is trouble... From the moment the Australian pediatric doctor arrives wearing an ancient amulet stolen from his family years before, scandal precedes her.
Lila is stunned to discover the sordid history of her birth mother’s pendant. She came to Karuba to discover her true heritage, not set the whole palace in uproar! Knowing there’s no other way to quell the upheaval, Tariq gives her a shocking ultimatum: leave...or become his desert bride!
‘Marry you? Am I supposed to leap about in excitement at that thought? Or am I supposed to feel honoured? To be married to such an important man as Sheikh al Askeba!’
Lila thought she was doing quite well—given the total shock Tariq’s words had generated. But yelling at him wasn’t enough…not when she felt like grinding her teeth or punching something.
But marry Tariq—who’d been forced to offer marriage? Not love, just marriage...
Her heart scrunched in her chest. But that was stupid—this was a land where the head ruled the heart and his head had offered marriage.
But what alternative did she have?
Leave this place which she’d just discovered for certain was her heritage? Leave the family she’d only just found? The family she’d sought for so many years?
But the alternative was exile!
Could she really just walk away?
These days so many people seem to be tracing their ancestry, but for Lila the search to find out about her parents is more a search for her own identity. Orphaned at four, in a foreign country, she’s had little to guide her in her search: some scraps of music, memories of a box her mother treasured…and the pendant her mother had tied around her neck the day of her accident.
The last thing she expects to find as she follows her tenuous leads is love, but that is the ultimate reward for her tenacity in following the clues to her parents’ lives. As you will realise my love affair with sandy desert countries is still strong, and I hope you enjoy the romance of them as much as I do.
This is my second book involving Hallie and Pop’s foster family in the little coastal town of Wetherby—the first being Izzy and Mac’s story in A Forever Family for the Army Doc. And now I’ve become acquainted with them all there will be two more books to come!
