Alexandra Sellers. Sheikh's Woman. New York: Silhouette, 2001.
Anna awakens in a hospital, confused, to discover that she is mother to a newborn, and
wife to a steely-eyed stranger. Her husband, Ishaq Ahmadi, wastes no time in whisking her
away to his
desert home in Barakat, which to Anna seems both
hauntingly familiar and oddly foreign.
Strangely, the palatial residence contains no evidence of a happy marriage, no photographs, nor are
there any clothes that fit Anna's slender build. Ishaq confronts her with questions
about the past she cannot remember, and all she knows is that there is a primal, passionate
connection between them and, of course, the baby.
Despite the feelings she develops for her husband, Anna soon
realizes that nothing about her marriage can be believed.
