“What do you mean?” Tariq asked.

“The way he looks at Soraya. He's really into her.”

“My grandsons,” Fiddah said and laughed. Tariq turned his attention to her.

“What about us?” Tariq asked her.

“You're pieces of work, both of you.”

Sara laughed and agreed. Fiddah looked down at Leylah, who was falling asleep, her head dropping and jerking back up as she fought her tiredness. It almost looked to Sara like she was headbutting the air.

“I think that’s our cue to leave the party,” she said. “This little one does put a damper on our social life.” She took Leylah into her arms for a brief snuggle and then stood. “Oh, Malik, if you can pull your eyes away from your sister for more than three seconds, you might notice that a young woman has been ogling you from across the room.”

Sara kissed Fiddah goodbye. She held Leylah in one arm and Tariq’s hand with the other. She waved at Soraya and Amir as they left.

Malik looked around the event. He didn’t see anyone special, and no one was looking at him at the moment. The only single person he saw was one of the secretaries from the Botros Oil office; Fiddah had recruited her to help organize this event. Sara was probably imagining things. She fancied herself a matchmaker, and her success with Amir and Soraya had gone to her head.

BLURB

Wild horses couldn’t tear these hearts apart…

Trevor Wild will do anything to save his beloved Wildhorse Ranch… Including starting up a trendy glamping side business—something as alien to him as a day out of the saddle.

Luckily, smart and sassy Sabrina Hearthstone is an expert. Trevor’s hired her to live on the ranch while she sets up a glamping experience on his land. But it doesn’t take long for Sabrina to disrupt his life, in more ways than one. Trevor’s got a ranch to save, and the last thing he needs is to fall for a beautiful woman. But his heart seems to have other plans…

Sabrina might be an expert at revamping, but she has no intention of making over gorgeous cowboy Trevor Wild, even if she is wildly attracted to him. He’s stuck in his ways, stubborn as a mule… But sexier than any man she’s ever known. When they aren't butting heads, they're trading kisses that set her heart racing, and leave her weak in the knees.

But Trevor still doesn't trust her, and Sabrina can't keep waiting for him to realize she's more than just some city girl. When disaster strikes, she'll have to make a choice…

But can she be happy without her Wild man?

This royal romance is off to a rocky start…

As a way of apologizing to his matchmaking sister for inadvertently ending her engagement, Sheikh Kadir Oman agrees to let her find him a wife. He needs someone who is unquestionably supportive, especially since he’ll soon be taking over as king of Al-Fatha.

His sister thinks headstrong American Stella Green would be perfect for him. She’s smart, beautiful, and seems to love Al-Fatha as much as he does. And the chemistry between them is obvious. But he quickly discovers that Stella’s vision of the country isfardifferent from his—and she’s just as stubborn as he is. Can he stay with a woman who disagrees with him about his country’s path, no matter strong his feelings for her?

Stella still can’t believe she agreed to marry a man she’d never met—and a king at that! But something in her gut tells her this was the right decision—and not just because her new husband is gorgeous. Their marriage gets off to a rocky start, though, when Stella realizes Kadir’s idea of ruling Al-Fatha is to remove everything that’s beautiful about it.

Was their marriage a mistake? Or will they be able to work through their differences and make their love last forever?
