Arabian Nights
Graham, Heather
When he appeared on his stallion, galloping over the hot sands, seizing her and sweeping her into a luxuriously carpeted tent in the oasis, Alex Randall wasn't afraid. She was furious.

And her fury grew when she found he was no brigand but Dan D'Alesio, the renowned journalist and filmmaker.  Black-haired, jet eyed, exuding all but irresistible virility, he insisted she return to safety and civilization. But the exquisite Dr. Randall was determined to stay, to find her father, the famed Egyptologist who'd vanished on the verge of their history-making expedition. Brilliant, hot-headed, independent, how could Alex accept the fact that her survival here depended on this man?  How could she relinquish her rage to beg his protection?  And once they'd made their deal and she'd embarked on the charade of being his "wife"...when it was all over...how could she bear to let him go?
