Bahir
Al-Qadir is a man who has a past that has troubled him since he was a child
growing up in the desert and part of a Bedouin Tribe he learnt a lot from his
parents but he was a bright boy so he was sent away to England to study to make
something of himself but tragedy strikes and Bahir’s life changes forever. He
is placed in the care of a very cruel man and finally leaves and makes
something of himself as a gambler and he never loses he has made a lot of money
and it very wealthy travels the world visiting many casinos but he never
returns to his homeland either it is too hard for him.
Marina
Peshwah is a Princess but is very rebellious and does everything she can to not
confirm to rules she is beautiful and also travels a lot but when she meets
Bahir there is an instant attraction and they have a very sensual affair and
when she arrives to see him one day with news he tells her he never wants a
family and he then breaks their relationship and Marina goes her own way and
settles down but never forgets Bahir.
Years
later Marina is the unwed mother of two children and Bahir is asked by his
friend to help save the spoilt princess after she has been kidnapped he also
has never forgotten Marina even those he has tried hard to, he agrees only to
help out his best friend and when they meet again there is no re-kindling of
their relationship and they go their separate ways ignoring each other until
again Bahir is asked to escort Marina back to her home to keep her safe.
Although
not happy Bahir ends up escorting Marina home and the journey is tense but when
he meets her son he realizes that Chakir is his son and although he has always
said he did not want children he is determined to be a father to his son.
This
starts an incredible journey that is both heart-warming and very sensual as
they journey back to the place that Bahir lived as a child and has never
returned to until this time and when he opens up to Marina you will need the
tissues.
This
is a beautiful story of re-kindled love and passion of two people opening up
and learning about themselves and each other and of secrets being revealed and
the setting is wonderful I do love a story about a Sheikh and a beautiful
strong heroine. I highly recommend this one and gave it 5 stars, one not to be
missed.
