When kismet is the driving force that keeps two lovers together.

In Desert Ecstasy by Connie Mason, Lady Christa Horton and the rugged Desert Hawk (aka Mark Carrington, aka Prince Ahmed) are thrown together despite the dramatic twists and turns their lives take. At their first meeting, the man known to Christa as Mark boldly declares that they meant to be together, and then often repeats himself throughout the book:

"Do you believe in kismet? Our fates are intertwined. You were born to become mine."

"But never fear, sweet siren, we will meet again. It is written in the starts. It is kismet..."

"Perhaps now you will believe me when I say kismet has decreed that we should meet again."
