About this ebook

Nasser Safar isn’t what you’d call a long-term man. Over the last few years he’s been raising funds for an education initiative for his Tribe, and while he’s still focused on that, he’s also been playing the field, trying to outrun the memory of the woman who left him. She chose her love for her sister over her love for him. It’s a wound that still haunts Nasser, even while he continues the education project that had been their shared dream. 

Willow Everstone left the only man she’d ever loved after he’d given her an ultimatum: stay with him, or leave to care for her cancer-ridden sister and let him go. It was the hardest decision she ever had to make, and in the end she lost her chance at a future with the love of her life. Now, with her sister in remission, Willow is ready to follow her dream of bringing education to all parts of the world. Her first project? A newly minted international initiative...in Nasser’s country. 

Neither Nasser nor Willow are happy having to work together to create the Tribe’s new school. But when a visa issue almost kicks Willow out of the country—leaving her education initiative in limbo—Nasser offers an unconventional solution: a fake engagement. Despite their earlier reluctance, the marriage of convenience soon turns sultry glances into steamy nights. And when a surprise baby calls the “fake” part of their plan into question, they’ll have to decide if they’re willing to give their second chance at love a fighting chance, or leave their blossoming future behind.

This novel contains sexual content and profanity.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this final story in the "Safar Sheikhs" series. It's a stand alone story that is a fairly quick read. The plot, a fake relationship to so much more, is nicely developed and well written. I really love the characters! Nasser and Willow are great together in this story full of romance and twists. Their story is quite interesting and intriguing. She was issued an ultimatum by him and ended up leaving the love of her life for family. Now her situation has changed will these two find happiness together?

They jumped in bed way way too soon. I was supremely disappointed. The pages leading up to it drew us in on a line of presumed hatred and heartbreak but then it dissolved without so much as an acknowledgement. However, the rest of the book almost completely made up for it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a nice second-chance romance where the final Sheikh brother comes upon his only love again. The problem is could they get through their relationship a second time. There's a lot of hurt and miscommunication but I am glad they get past all that, even if they are forced to work together to get to it.

About the author

Leslie North is the pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres. 

The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east. 

Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.
