Sheikh Damon El Karim has kidnapped Cory's son Michael and taken him to Kasmara--and she is hot on his heels, furious at his betrayal yet shattered by guilt; she'd kept the boy a secret from his father since their passionate affair four years ago. Now Damon threatens to imprison Cory in his palace and refuse to let her see Michael unless she surrenders to him! Cory knows her wild attraction to this desert renegade has never ceased--and she can only hope time has tempered Damon's savage desire with new tenderness. Is she strong enough to re-ignite the love that could be theirs, the enduring love that they--and their child--so desperately need?
