The two children had vowed to be friends for life, but things changed significantly when, as adults, friendship and familiarity had given way to sizzling passion!<\/p>\n<p>Having left the desert kingdom of Merkazad for the bright lights of Paris, a grown up Jamilah had been surprised to bump into her childhood friend, Salman. The young boy whom she had worshipped and idolized for most of her life had grown into a charismatic, powerful and devastatingly attractive man who had made it quite clear that he wanted Jamilah in his bed! Unable to resist the man who had been the object of her affections ever since she was a girl, Jamilah had succumbed to his seduction and soon found herself falling head over heels in love with Salman. Jamilah had been convinced that Salman reciprocated her feelings, however, she had been shocked when she had walked in on the love of her life seducing another woman. A devastated Jamilah had walked out of Salman\u2019s life and gone back to Merkazad where she had tried to forget all about her heartbreak and Salman\u2019s betrayal by working her fingers to the bone at the Sheikh\u2019s stables.<\/p>\n<p>Five years had passed since the day Salman had rejected her so brutally, but Jamilah has never been able to forget him. Happily settled in Merkazad, she loves her job and adores the fact that Salman seldom visits the desert kingdom. However, things in Merkazad are about to change\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Salman saunters back into Jamilah\u2019s life \u2013 and this time he makes it clear that he\u2019s here to stay! Jamilah is determined to give Salman a very wide berth, but little does she realize that the only man she has ever loved is determined to continue where they left off. Salman is determined to have Jamilah back in his bed, and he is not in the least bit surprised when she is unable \u2013 and unwilling \u2013 to resist his tempting advances. But Salman has already broken Jamilah\u2019s heart once and she will not make the same mistake twice\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Salman has always run away from commitment, but this time he finds himself reluctant to leave Jamilah behind. However, Jamilah knows that she must not contemplate a future with the man she has never stopped loving for she has a devastating secret that she cannot risk Salman ever finding out\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Abby Green has got a marvelous ability of making exotic locations come splendidly to life and in Secrets of the Oasis, she describes the desert kingdom of Merkazad so beautifully that the reader can almost feel the sun on her face and sand underneath her toes. Add to this, a breathtakingly passionate romance, an inspirational heroine and a sexy Sheikh hero and you have a first-rate Modern Romance from one of the line\u2019s fastest rising stars.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether you enjoy Sheikh romances or not, when you pick up Secrets of the Oasis, you are sure to fall under the mesmerizing spell of Jamilah and Salman\u2019s story. Believable, tender and outstanding, this is romance at its most compelling!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

at five thirty am, just as she was about to go out and do her morning round of the stables to check everyone was where they should be. She was grouchy from lack of sleep and the constant feeling of being on edge. For the past few days there had been the non \u2013 stop clatter of helicopter rotar blades as numerous choppers had been taking off and landing on the castle\u2019s grounds. Even though it was a fair distance to the stables, enough had flown close enough to the horses to spook them for hours. Jamilah had heard through the robust grapevine that Salman was hosting an unending series of parties at the castle.<\/p>\n<p>Now she gritted her teeth and answered the phone in the office which was part of her private rooms. All she heard on the other end was hysterical sobbing until finally she managed to calm Hana down enough to listen for a minute.<\/p>\n<p>With an icy cold anger rising, she eventually bit out through a break in the tirade, \u2018I\u2019m on my way.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Clinging onto that cold rage to distract her from the prospect of seeing Salman again, Jamilah went outside and got into her jeep making the ten minute journey to the Castle courtyard in five minutes, where Hana was ringing her hands. As soon as Jamilah stepped out of her jeep Hana was babbling, \u2018\u2026<i>all night, every night\u2026such loud music, and the food! It\u2019s too much\u2026couldn\u2019t keep up with the demands and then they started throwing things\u2026in the ceremonial ballroom! If Nadim was here\u2026\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Gently but firmly Jamilah cut through Hana\u2019s hysterics, \u2018Get the staff organized for a clean up, and get Sakmal here with the coach. I\u2019ll have all these guests out of here this morning.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>By the time Jamilah had reached the quarters Salman had commandeered for his private use about an hour later, her rage was no longer icy but boiling over. She\u2019d just seen the devastation caused by what appeared to be half the population of Europe\u2019s Eurotrash party brigade and she\u2019d just supervised about a fifty seriously disgruntled, still inebriated people onto a coach, where they would be delivered into Al \u2013 Omar and back home.<\/p>\n<p>She pushed open the door to Salman\u2019s suite and it slammed back against a wall. The immediate dart of hurt at what she saw nearly made her double over and that made her rage burn even brighter. At the evidence that he was still affecting her.<\/p>\n<p>Two bodies were sprawled on an ornately brocaded couch. Along with an empty champagne bottle and glasses strewn around them. The nubile blonde woman was caked in make up, wearing a tiny sparkly spangly dress. She looked up drunkenly from where she lay beside a sleeping Salman, one arm flung across his bare and tautly muscled chest. Thankfully he was at least wearing jeans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Excuse me,\u2019 She slurred in cut glass tones, \u2018Who do you think you are?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jamilah strode over, trying to block out the sensually indolent olive \u2013skinned body of Salman and took the woman\u2019s skinny arm, hauling her up.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Ow!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jamilah was unrepentant as she marched the sluggish woman over to where two maids hovered anxiously in the door, clad head to toe in black, two sets of huge brown eyes just growing wider and wider. Jamilah said with icy disdain, \u2018Girls, please escort this guest to the coach after she\u2019s picked up her things, and then tell Sakmal he can go, that should be everyone.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jamilah shut the door firmly on the woman\u2019s drunken protestations and sighed deeply. She turned around and Salman hadn\u2019t budged an inch. Her heart clenched painfully; he\u2019d always slept like the dead, and now that was obviously exacerbated by his alcohol intake. Her eyes roved over his hard hewn muscle packed form. She hated to admit it, but for an indolent louche playboy he possessed the body of an athlete in his prime.<\/p>\n<p>Dark stubble shadowed his firm jaw, a lock of black hair had fallen over his forehead making him look deceptively innocent. Long black lashes caressed those ridiculously sculpted cheekbones. He looked like a dark fallen angel who might have literally just dropped out of the sky.<\/p>\n<p>But an angel, fallen or otherwise he most certainly was <i>not<\/i>. Jamilah clenched her jaw as if that could counteract the treacherous rising of heat within her and went to the bathroom where she found what she was looking for. Coming back into the main drawing room, she said a mental prayer for forgiveness to Nadim and Hana for the damage she was about to do to the soft furnishings and then she threw the entire bucket of icy cold water over Salman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">***<\/p>\n<p>Salman thought he was being attacked. Reflexes that had been honed long long ago snapped into action and he was on his feet and tensed for action before he really knew what was happening.<\/p>\n<p>In seconds though, he assessed the situation and forced locked muscles to relax. Jamilah was standing in front of him with an empty bucket and a belligerent look on her beautiful face, and something inside him rose up with an almost giddy surge. For the first time since he\u2019d returned he felt centered; not rudderless and scarily close to the edge of his control.<\/p>\n<p>With her hair tied back, no make \u2013 up, dressed in a white shirt, jeans and riding boots, she might have passed for eighteen. Her stunning blue eyes were glittering like bright sapphires and a line of pink slashed each cheek with colour. She was a veritable jewel of beauty compared to the artificially enhanced women who\u2019d been vying for his attention the last few days and self disgust curled inside him when he remembered the one who\u2019d eventually fallen into an unwelcome drunken slumber beside him earlier that morning.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d vowed to order his private jet to get rid of the horde of unwanted guests, realizing what a mistake he\u2019d made, but it would appear by the look on Jamilah\u2019s face as if it had already been taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018How dare you\u2026\u2019 Jamilah was saying now in a suspiciously quivery voice which he guessed had more to do with anger than emotion.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018How <i>dare<\/i> you come back here and proceed to turn this castle into your personal playground. Poor Hana is distraught, she has quite enough to be doing without pandering to your needs and all the Little Lord Fauntleroys you invited to join in the fun.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And apart from the chaos and destruction here, your <i>friends\u2019<\/i> constant arrival by helicopter has been spooking the horses at the stables.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Energy crackled between them.<\/p>\n<p>Salman rocked back on his heels and surveyed Jamilah with a lazy sweep up and down. He seemed to be oblivious to the fact that he was soaking wet and with a gulp Jamilah could see that this was not proceeding how she\u2019d expected at all. Salman didn\u2019t look remotely contrite, or even drunk. His eyes were as sharp as ever. And on her. She had to consciously not let her gaze drop to where his jeans must be plastered against his crotch and thighs.<\/p>\n<p>He crossed his arms nonchalantly across his chest making his biceps bulge and Jamilah had the very belated realization that she\u2019d just wakened a sleeping panther. He drawled, \u2018Not even a kiss hello to greet me? That\u2019s not very nice now is it?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jamilah put the bucket down because she was afraid she\u2019d drop it. And she stood up to see Salman staring at her with a disturbing glint in his eye. Feeling the sudden urge to escape and fast, she said glacially. \u2018Clearly you feel that Merkazad is too boring to sustain your attention, I\u2019d suggest that if you\u2019re looking for entertainment you should follow your friends to B\u2019harani where they\u2019re headed right now on the tour bus.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>For a second Jamilah could have sworn she saw the merest smile touch Salman\u2019s lips but then it was gone. And the urge to escape grew more acute. She whirled around to leave the room but before she could reach the door she was whirled back again by a strong hand gripping her arm and a guttural, \u2018Where do you think you\u2019re going?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What the \u2013 \u2018 she spluttered ineffectually.<\/p>\n<p>Salman knew he should be letting Jamilah go, he\u2019d <i>told<\/i> himself that he would not pursue her, but faced with her now and her timeless beauty, that sleek curvaceous body, it was too much for his battered soul to resist.<\/p>\n<p>Salman arched one ebony brow, \u2018Like I said, you can\u2019t even greet me with a civil hello?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jamilah glared up at him, already cursing herself for having come here to deal with this. \u2018Why would I want to bother saying hello to someone who can\u2019t even treat his own home or staff with any respect?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>His eyes flashed blackly, \u2018Exactly. This is my home and you would do well to remember that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jamilah spat out, \u2018You mean remember my place? Is that it Salman? It\u2019s been a long time since anyone had to remind me that I\u2019m not part of your family.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>She tried to break free but his grip was too strong and then two hands drew her round in front of him now and his gaze fairly blistered down into her defiant one. Of course she wasn\u2019t a member of their family; for all of Nadim\u2019s care, inclusion and protection after her parents had died, Jamilah had always known her place, so why was she provoking Salman like this now?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s not what I meant at all and you know it. The fact is that this is my home and I shall do as I like here. As acting ruler I don\u2019t have to answer to anyone.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jamilah stuck her chin out pugnaciously, something deep and visceral goading her on, \u2018You\u2019ll answer to me. I may not be the ruler but the staff here know who is in charge and it\u2019s not you. You\u2019d need to earn their respect first. I won\u2019t stand by and watch you come in here and desecrate Nadim and Iseult\u2019s home.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Before Jamilah could even question where that urge to provoke had come from, suddenly they were a lot closer and her breath faltered as Salman\u2019s unique and intensely male scent washed over her. Dimly she recognized that she couldn\u2019t smell drink on his breath. He hadn\u2019t been drunk? That didn\u2019t fit with the scene she\u2019d just witnessed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Like I said,\u2019 his voice was as glacial as hers now, \u2018this is my home as much as it is Nadim\u2019s and I will invite whomever I want, whenever I want.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Unable to articulate a response and quickly becoming overhwhelmed by Salman\u2019s intoxicating proximity, Jamilah tried to break free of his hold again, twisting around in his hands.<\/p>\n<p>All it did though was to force her back into his hard chest and then she heard a muttered curse. Suddenly strong arms were below her breasts and she was being lifted clear off her feet and carried bodily towards the bathroom. She kicked her legs, but her struggles were futile, and puny in the face of Salman\u2019s overpowering strength. She was plastered against a hard, <i>wet<\/i>, body. And that was entirely her fault.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t even get a word out before they were in the bathroom and Salman easily held her with one arm while he turned on the shower. Both her hands were trying to free herself, to no avail. His arm was like a steel bar. She could feel her hair loosening from its untidy pony \u2013 tail.<\/p>\n<p>The water was running and steam started to rise around them when she finally spluttered out, \u2018What the <i>hell<\/i> do you think you are doing\u2026let me down this instant!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In that moment Salman walked them both under the warm spray of the huge shower and she heard him say grimly over her head, \u2018Giving you a little taste of your own medicine miss high and mighty.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click to Learn More<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[21],"portfolio_entries":[23],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
