She'd awakened in a hospital, confused, to discover she was mother to a newborn...and wife to a steely-eyed stranger. Mere hours after gazing on Ishaq Ahmadi in London, Anna found herself at their desert home, which seemed both hauntingly familiar and oddly foreign. No evidence of a happy marriage existed in the palatial residence. No photographs. No clothes that fit Anna's slender build. No trust, given Ishaq's endless questions. There was simply the primal, passionate connection between them... and, of course, the baby.
But Anna soon learned that nothing about her marriage was to be believed...

When you invest your whole day in a book and then the book end abruptly without getting closure is pure torture. Why! Hero was father of all the manipulation in world. The reason for this came out of nowhere in the last page. Too late. Heroine was ok. Not particularly lovable or interesting other than her choice pf career. What I most enjoyed is the parallel tragic love story snippets written in the beginning of each chapters. But for the life of me I couldn’t workout the connection between that story and the main story. Hero’s sister and her mystery was the main angst in the story which I didn’t particularly care for. And after painfully reading about all that and still so many questions remain about the sister. I loved the writing style and the author has done her research. This is also the first book sheikh romance where I skipped the love scenes. Tell you why, because author wrote him as mosque goer, brought up in a conservative family, somewhat religious hero and then he goes and sleeps with heroine, drinks brandy! Ughhh these all are prohibited to a muslim. Sorry but I couldn’t accept that in this instance.
When she wakes up in the hospital she is told that she has given birth to a baby girl. But her nightmares are of a baby boy that died. She ends with a sheikh who takes her away. He needs her to find his sister. But along the way they find that they have a destiny together.
The only reason to read this book is if you like Silhouette romances. The plot isn't realistic at all and the chemistry wasn't there. For a romance novel, that's kind of bad.
