Shadow of the Sheikh

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nina Bruhns presents for your reading pleasure, book 2 in her exciting sexy contemporary paranormal romance trilogy, IMMORTAL SHEIKHS.

The three Haliday sisters are not afraid of mummies. Nor of silly ancient Egyptian curses. Historian Gillian, ethnographer Gemma, and archaeologist Josslyn Haliday spent their childhoods sharing their sleeping tent with all manner of mummies, having accompanied their Egyptologist father on his digs ever since the fateful day their mother disappeared into the sands of the Sahara twenty years ago.

Brave women all three, it would never occur to any of them to fear the dead.

But that is all about to change...

Book 2 – SHADOW OF THE SHEIKH

The Bedouin believe Sheikh Shahin Aswadi to be the harbinger of death, an immortal shapeshifter who rides the wind in the form of a powerful black hawk, serving his vampire master. Shahin doesn't mind. The myth makes his duties as commander of Seth-Aziz's army of immortal followers much easier. No outsider has dared approach his hidden oasis encampment for over a century, too terrified of the ruthless legend of al Shahin.

Until today.

Determined to find her missing sister, intrepid ethnographer Gemma Haliday has foolishly disregarded the dire warnings of her Bedouin friends. To Shahin's gratification, she walks straight into the trap he has carefully laid for her. He seeks revenge over the defection of his friend, Lord Rhys, over Gemma's sister.

But far from being terrified, Gemma brazenly barges into Shahin's tent demanding answers. At first he's shocked. And intrigued. Then highly aroused. In an impetuous move, he takes the beautiful innocent captive. He decides he will tame her and use her, then gift her to Seth-Aziz as a blood sacrifice.

But things don't exactly go according to plan. One taste of Gemma's lips and Shahin knows he must possess her fully. Only for himself. But he wants her willing. He wants her to burn for him as he burns for her, with a desire as hot and vast as the timeless Egyptian desert. There's just one problem. She wants forever...which is something Shahin can never give.
