Makayla Riggs is convinced her father was wrongfully convicted, and she’s going to prove it. Her father died in prison in Qadir, a tiny Arabic country, after being found guilty of stealing a diamond from the royal family. Convinced her father was framed by the al Baians, the powerful family he was working for, Makayla heads to Qadir and finds an unlikely ally in Sheikh Baqir Abdul-Rahman, who has … has his own suspicions about the al Baians. As the two work together to uncover the truth, Makayla can’t help but find herself falling under the charming sheikh’s spell. How can she not when Baqir is the only one who believes her father was framed?
Baqir is trying to solve several other jewelry thefts and knows he’s treading in dangerous territory to place blame for all the thefts on the al Baians. Yet he finds himself willing to do just about anything to help Makayla. Their long nights investigating the original theft brings them closer, and it isn’t long before the two finally give in to the red-hot chemistry that’s been torturing them since they met. When Makayla is threatened by the al Baians, Baqir is desperate to protect her; a kind of desperation that feels like more than chemistry: he’s fallen deeply in love with the beautiful American. But will Baqir be too late to save Makayla, will she disappear forever from his life?

Another fantastic book by this amazing and talented author. Just can’t get enough of her books. Happy reading!
Baqir and Makayla work together in more ways than one
Leslie’s sheikh stories are my all time favorite and this one does not disappoint by pulling you in from the beginning with intrigue over missing jewels and the attraction between Makayla and Sheikh Baqir. Baqir saves Makayla from his suspected thief’s clutches at the beginning of the story and after they discover they are both investigating stolen gems by the same person. Yet when Makayla is accused of trespassing, will Baqir be able to save her in time? You have to read to find out and will read this book in one sitting as it is just that good.

Sheikh Baqir Abdul-Rahman sees her coming from the royal home and offers her a ride. He was going there to investigate the jewel thefts himself. They are drawn to one another and soon begin working together to find out what is happening behind the jewel thefts. Can Makayla trust someone from the very family that took her father from her?

Beautiful love story. This is such a sweet & wonderful love story. Makayla was in Qadir to prove her father’s innocence working in Abdi Al Baian’s house to find evidence. Fearing she’d been caught she fled the mansion & was stopped by a car with the man telling her to get inside sawing she didn’t have much time before she was caught she got in the car. As they drove off the car took them to the Palace where she realised the man she was with was the Prince Baqir. He took her inside where she told him everything about proving her father was not a thief & he set out to help her prove this. As they spent more time together they realised they had fallen for each other but it seemed like their happy ever after was not to be when Abdi Al Baian turned up at the Palace spreading lies, the King refused to hand her to him but said the police will look into any evidence as to whether she had commuted any crime & the Palace security took her to the police station for safety. It killed Baqir leaving her there but couldn’t do anything until the next day when he found out that she wasn’t there & that Abdi Al Baian had taken her from the station & put her in a cell at his house. Baqir was desperate to find her & his father & brother helped hoping they would get her back safely. I couldn’t stop reading this book you could feel the love they had for each other & couldn’t stop smiling when I’d finished it.

Another fun read and the second in this series form a author that always writes a book that engages you and keeps hold of you i until that last page
Makayla Riggs is determined to prove her fathers innocence after he dies in a Qadir prison after been charged with stealing a diamond, What she didn’t expect was help from Sheikh Baqir Abdul-Rahman who also has suspicions about a number of jewellery thefts and their links to the al Baians family. What neither expected was the intense chemistry between them or that they would fall in love When Makayla is threatened by the al Baians will Baqir be able to keep her safe or will he lose the woman he has grown to love.
Baqir and Makayla were smoking hot. The chemistry they had was only amplified by the danger and suspense while they tried to prove her father’s innocence. It was only a matter of time before they gave in and it was explosive. I enjoyed their story and how they worked together even in the face of danger.

Another enjoyable add to the Qadir Sheik series that doesn’t disappoint. It was sweet with a danger element that made for an interesting storyline. Makayla sets out to prove her fathers innocence when she meets Sheikh Baker. What happens next makes for an entertaining romance read with the heat level that sizzles. I love the easy flow and the likable characters that this series offers it’s readers. Can’t wait for the next book.
