Synopsis

She was stranded in a deadly sandstorm when he rode to her rescue like a desert prince on his black stallion. On a lark Billie Callahan had come to the Middle East to play a minor film role in a desert epic. Suddenly she found herself starring in a real-life romantic adventure. Cowboy, hero, friend of sheikhs and princes, David Bradford spoke like a poet in the drawl of his native Texas. What was this mysterious, eccentric, and irresistibly seductive man doing in Sedikhan, and what did he want with an ordinary woman like Billie? Her curiosity piqued, Billie followed David to the lavish pleasure fortress he called home, with its armed guards and adoring staff. He warned her that the pleasure he offered her would last forever. What he didn't know was that Billie only believed in now.

Picked up as a recommendation on the help finding books thread, very kindly recommended and much appreciated. I am so conflicted about this book.

Oldie but goodie I love the fact that David Bradford was given his own story after the previous book. It was good to see his healing. Having Billie Callahan as the heroine in this book was very creative. The two "lost" individuals were destined for each other. I loved it!!!......more
