Mistress of the Sheikh & The One-Night Wife

Book excerpt: Mistress of the Sheikh Sheikh Nicholas al Rashid detests the spotlight that has come with his wealth, power and movie-star looks. The tabloids delight in splashing his life over the scandal sheets—especially his love life. So when a gorgeous woman claiming to be a decorator appears in his Manhattan penthouse, Nick knows better than to act on his desires. He doesn't trust her, and yet there's something about Amanda Benning that compels the sheikh to seduce her. Even if it means playing right into the hands of the devil. The One-Night Wife Savannah McRae is desperate. She's made a name for herself as a gambler and a lot of money for her patron, but he wants more—he wants her to ruin millionaire Sean O'Connell. If not, he'll cut off the treatment for Savannah's sick sister. But when Savannah sits down at the poker table with Sean, she loses everything. Afraid to go back to her patron with her failure, she accepts Sean's last gamble: he'll settle her debts if she becomes his wife…for just one night.
