The Karawi Sheikhs

Journey to a land of romance and adventure… USA Today bestselling author Leslie North brings an exotic land—and the handsome alpha sheikhs who live there—to vivid life in her latest smoldering boxset. Surprise babies and instant families challenge three sheikhs’ resolve, strength, and hearts in this searing romance collection. In The Sheikh’s Surprise Heir, Prince Iman Karawi never forgot that one magical night with the beautiful Natalie. Now, years later he has discovered he is a father. And he’ll do anything to get Natalie back. Even as the past threatens to tear them both apart for good… In The Sheikh’s Secret Child, when Sheikh Bahir Karawi discovers he has a daughter, he immediately sets out to find her and bring her home. He is intrigued by beautiful American journalist Amy Mathewson who is taking care of his daughter. A woman who is about to turn his life upside down… And in The Sheikh’s Pregnant Love, Sheikh Riyad Karawi has more than violent rebels on his mind. After meeting gorgeous and pregnant American firebrand Danielle, he realizes he’ll do just about anything to keep her safe. Especially if it means she can stay with him forever…

As an ambitious American journalist, Amy Mathewson will stop at nothing to get her story—including going into dangerous, rebel-infested countries. But when she stumbles across seven-year-old Aisha in an orphanage her heart melts, and Amy vows to keep her safe. Until the rebels start to close in. Just when Amy thinks they’re in grave danger, a stunning Sheikh arrives, claiming Aisha as his daughter; a Sheikh with smoldering dark eyes and the kind of handsome that is difficult to forget. Unwilling to let Aisha go with a stranger, Amy agrees to accompany the Sheikh and Aisha to a safe house to confirm his claim. But it may not be safe for Amy, not with a sexy Sheikh making her feel things she hasn’t felt in a long time—and whose touch is as hot as the desert sun. All his life, Sheikh Bahir Karawi has taken care of himself, knowing no one else would. When he discovers he has a daughter, he immediately sets out to bring her home, to make sure she never feels as alone as he always has. What he doesn’t count on is butting heads with the fiercely protective and dangerously beautiful Amy, who has taken up the duties of caring for his daughter. As they get to know one another, he can’t ignore the searing attraction he feels, nor the realization that Amy would be perfect, both for his daughter and for him. As the rebels close in, Bahir realizes he will do anything to keep his daughter and Amy safe—even if that means putting his very life at risk.

Holly Remington can’t believe the burning chemistry she feels with Sheikh Malik Abdul-Rahman. It’s like getting knocked in the head with a baseball bat—except far more pleasant. Though she’s supposed to be all business while her company tries to win a lucrative development contract in the oil-rich country of Qadir, Holly simply can’t stop herself from happily succumbing to his charm. When she’s called back home after her father suffers a stroke, thoughts of her sheikh romance are never far away. It’s only when she’s ready to return to Qadir to continue her work that she discovers Malik gave her more than sexy memories. She’s pregnant—with twins. And when she sees him again, Malik makes it painfully clear he’s not only rejecting her development proposal, he’s not interested in any other formal proposal either. He wants all of her. But Holly isn’t sure that’s available, or ever will be. Sheikh Malik has never reacted to another woman like he does Holly. She’s all business—at least in the beginning—and he finds himself oddly compelled to get to know her other side. Intimately. When he finds out she’s pregnant with his children, he find himself wanting her more. But when Holly begins to talk about how she wants to develop his oasis herself—the one that her company had been desperate to buy and the very one his mother loved and hoped one day would belong to Malik’s future wife, he pulls the breaks on their whirlwind romance. How can he love a woman who seems so out of touch with everything he values? And yet, how can he not love the only woman whose ever touched his soul?

Danielle Greenski's life is going to change in a big way. Single and newly pregnant, her days of traveling the globe for work and living a life of adventure are about to end. But not just yet—when she meets a gorgeous man who's the perfect "last fling" before she settles down to mommyhood. After an amazing weekend with Sheikh Riyad Karawi, she's totally fine with saying good-bye—until she's kidnapped by rebels who think she's carrying the Sheikh's baby. Apparently, in addition to being a Sheikh, her weekend lover has some other big secrets he hasn't shared. Like how he's part of the country's elite military squad. And wanted by rebels. And maybe the most intriguing man she's ever met… The last thing this womanizing charmer needs is to fall for a pregnant woman—it would completely blow the playboy persona he's been using to get close to the rebel forces. But that's what Sheikh Riyad is faced with after he meets American firebrand, Danielle. He can't figure out why he feels the need to protect a woman he's just met, why he can't seem to get her out of his system—no matter how hard he tries—and why the thought of her going home is punching him in the gut. For now, he'll just keep her around until he knows she's safe. Or maybe, until he can convince her to stay. If only he can make Danielle believe that he's not just the playboy she met, but a man she could love forever.

Every time Natalie looks at her beautiful daughter, Iris, she can’t help but think about the passionate night she spent with a prince—and for good reason: Prince Iman Karawi is Iris’s father. Though Natalie longed to tell Iman about their daughter, unknown to her, Iman’s manipulative uncle hid the truth. Even as she goes on with her life, caring for her daughter and her dying mother, she cannot get thoughts of Iman out of her mind. Now, six years later, a chance meeting brings back all the feelings Natalie’s tried to forget. How could one-night haunt her after all this time? It’s clear Iman wants to continue where they left off, and it’s just as clear to Natalie that he might break her heart again. Especially if he ever finds out that little Iris is his. For Iman, Natalie was always more than a one-night stand. He never understood why she left so abruptly, and even years later during a chance meeting, he’s still drawn to the blonde beauty in a way he can’t explain. Despite being promised to another by his parents, Iman can’t suppress his excitement—or desire—at seeing her again. But this time, Iman is not ready to say good-bye. He makes her a job offer she cannot refuse, and as he and Natalie spend more time together, it’s clear to Iman he cannot marry his fiancé, not when the love he feels for Natalie burns so deep. As the past threatens to destroy their blossoming romance, it might be too late for either of them to find the happily ever after that has always been just out of reach.

Aisha Shadari will do anything to assure her beloved kingdom, Kendah, is well run—even if that means marrying someone she doesn’t love. If she doesn’t marry within a year of her father’s death, the task of ruling the country will fall to her incompetent cousin. With time running out, Aisha needs someone who will let her be in charge, someone she can easily manage. Prince Nadim Hasan, the third son from the prosperous kingdom of Raihan, is her last hope, though he’s far from perfect. The man doesn’t seem to have a serious bone in his delicious body. But as they spend a week getting to know one another, she realizes there’s more to Nadim than she initially thought. And he just might be the husband she’s looking for… Nadim knows it’s time for him to grow up and do…something. But get married? That wasn’t on his radar. Spending a week with Aisha was really just a way to appease his parents, to show that he’s more than just an irresponsible playboy. In reality, though, that’s exactly what Nadim has been, and he’s not entirely sure he wants a change as drastic as marriage. But neither one of them can deny their perfect chemistry. The addition of an orphan baby to their tour of the country changes everything, and they start to feel like…family. When Aisha makes her case, offering him a loveless marriage just so she can save her country, he can’t agree. For him, it’s all or nothing. If they can’t get on the same page, they both risk losing everything.

None of the Hasan brothers are looking for love or marriage, but all three find themselves tying the knot with virtual strangers in Leslie North’s latest smoldering sheikh trilogy. In The Sheikh’s Marriage Bargain, as the eldest son, Zayid Hasan must marry first and since his younger brother needs to wed, he’s willing to enter a marriage of convenience to solve that problem. He’s lucky he meets Laila Tindall, who’s just desperate enough to marry him, but will their temporary marriage turn into something more lasting? One night of passion between middle brother Yaseen and American Kara Shaw leads to a pregnancy, and under his kingdom’s laws the two must marry. It’s a marriage of convenience and nothing more…at least that’s what they keep telling themselves, in The Sheikh’s Pregnant Wife. In The Sheikh’s Rescued Baby, youngest Hasan brother, Nadim, wants to change his playboy image, but marriage wasn’t part of the plan, even to Aisha Shadari, the gorgeous sultana of a neighboring kingdom. When disaster strikes, they both discover there’s more to him than meets the eye.
