Rosalind Lewis believed her connection to her husband's family ended when he died years ago. Her attempt to contact the great-grandfather of her child was cruelly rebuffed, and she resigned herself to forgetting both the man she loved and the family she never knew. So when Sheikh Najib blasts into her life claiming her son is in danger, Rosalind considers him too late -- about five years too late.

When the three cousins follow a bank notice of payment due to a safety deposit box, they don't expect to find two envelopes including a will and a letter to their grandfather. The will leaves their deceased cousin's holdings to his wife, Rosalind Lewis, a woman they've never heard of. Najib follows the paper trail to London, but security demands that he not reveal the entire story that requires his intervention in Rosalind's life. Now he must persuade this justifiably angry woman that her son's in danger and only he can protect them both.

With equal respect to the ancient power, found in standing stones and odd corners of the world, and the exotic, the land of sultans and political assignations, Alexandra Sellers creates an extraordinary romance. THE SULTAN'S HEIR condenses a multi-layered plot into a deftly woven tale short on pages and long on complexity. As each secret reveals yet another layer, the reader is drawn into a rich tapestry of desire and destiny. The first novel of the Sons of the Desert trilogy, THE SULTAN'S HEIR comes very highly recommended.

Alexandra Sellers has again taken us into a world of romance and intrigue. Rosalind wants to protect her son, but is not sure from whom, and Sheikh Najib is not sure Rosalind is who she says she is. But both know they are strongly attracted to each other. This sets the stage for an entertaining story, with undercurrents of passion. Set in London and East Barakat, the book held me in its grasp from beginning to end.

Rosalaind beliving that her late husband's family wants nothing to do with her or her son. Then one day her late husband's cousin shows up on her doorstep claiming that her som is in danger and that the only way to protect them is to take them back to his home land. In the process she starts having feelings for the man who is there to proctect them, but she doesn't know if she can trust him since the his grandfather had told her that he didn't believe that the child was his grandson's at all. In the end tho love over came.
