Sheik’s Rule
by Ryshia Kennie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
His sister's life is
at stake, and despite his wealth and power, Sheik Emir Al-Nassar feels
helpless. At least heading his family's security agency provides him with
resources to track down her kidnappers. But when the ace profiler he's sent
turns out to be K. J.—Kate—Gelinsky, Emir is furious. Finding the kidnappers'
desert hideout is dangerous enough without the distraction of a beautiful
woman.
But K.J. is unlike
any woman he's ever known. Her fearlessness and incisive mind inspires Emir's
admiration. And her compassion breaches his guarded heart. Still, rescuing his
sister is a perilous mission. And allowing desire to cloud his focus could
endanger them all.

Excerpt One:
Just looking at that hand confirmed every doubt he had. It wasn’t just about customs, she was female
and because of that and so many other things, she was the wrong person for the
job.
“I’ll help you find your sister. You just need to trust me.”
“No!” The word came
out with the pent-up fury that had built since the fateful call from Tara’s
kidnappers and now the full impact of it sparked in his eyes as his temple
pounded and his fists clenched.
“No,” he said with less edge but with no room for
negotiation. He was wasting time, had
wasted time, first waiting and now in a senseless airport run. “I don’t care what you specialized in. You’re a woman and because of that you’re
going home,” he said bluntly. “I’ve
wasted enough time. I’ll speak to the
pilot and we’ll get you out of here.”
“You’re not being fair.”
“I’m not being fair,” he repeated, emphasizing each
word. If she’d been a man he would have
had her by the collar up against the wall, his face in hers. But she wasn’t and that was the problem. “You’re useless to me. I’d have to watch out for both you and
me. That’s a distraction. Look at you – you couldn’t swing a punch or…”
One minute he was seething, glaring at her, and the next he
was flat on his back.
“You bloody flipped me,” he snarled, leaping to his feet.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
The Canadian
prairies are my home and while the prairie landscape is blessed with beautiful
blue skies, it also has four seasons that come on full throttle – especially
winter and because of that I like to travel.
Often on those trips, stories are born.
In 2011 I won
my city's writing award, and was the first romance writer to do so since its
inception. In 2013 my romantic suspense
was a semi-finalist in the Kindle Book Awards.
Published in historic romance and paranormal romance as well as romantic
suspense, in February 2016, my first novel was published by Harlequin Intrigue.
There’s no
lack of places to set a story as my imagination and the too long prairie
winters may find me seeking adventure.
The memories of those worlds both near and far, the words of a stranger,
the furtive look one man gives another, often become the catalyst for a
suspenseful story with a deadly villain and an intrepid hero and heroine who
must battle for their right to love or even their right to live.
When not
dreaming of other stories, I can be found scouting out a garage sale or two,
dusting off my roller blades or just thinking about the next adventure that may
be miles away or in my own backyard.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for having me. I’m excited to be here and for this day to finally arrive – Sheik’s Rule published and sharing it with all of you. It seems forever ago and yesterday that I was dreaming of how Emir and Kate would get past their differences, how they would possibly stop the kidnappers on time, how… They’re a fiery couple but made for each other just like the Moroccan setting was made for their romance.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever fallen in love with a setting, a place? I think I do with each book I write. But Morocco was different, I visited it on my honeymoon so it brought back great memories to “travel” back to today’s Morocco.
I’ll pop in and out through the day. Although, this morning I’ve promised my mom that I’d take her for groceries. So, after that bit of mother and daughter time this morning, otherwise I’ll be checking in throughout the day. I’m looking forward to any questions or comments – in fact I have the first cup of coffee ready to go! Cheers to a fun day.
