Jane Porter. The Sheikh's Virgin. New York: Harlequin, 2005.
Keira al-Issidri is enjoying her carefree life in Dallas when her father suddenly orders
her to return to her native Baraka to marry a prominent but old man named Sidi Abizhaid. Keira
is horrified at the thought of returning to Baraka and live her life hidden behind a veil, and
has no intention of obeying her father's edict.
Sheikh Kalen Nuri of Baraka is aware of the fate that awaits Keira and swiftly intervenes
for political reasons yet unknown to her. He spirits her out of Dallas and ultimately weds
her in an impromptu desert ceremony.
Keira is drawn to the magnetic sheikh, but a secret from her past torments her. She
doesn't know how to tell him...or how he will react when he learns the truth. But she
does know that she cannot bear the thought of losing him, now that he has claimed her as his
woman.
