Book Description
Her life—and her son's—were in his hands. For single mother Kirsten McCourt, small-town life changed instantly the night she overheard—on her baby monitor!—thugs ordering a hit. But she could never imagine the undercover cop on the case would be the man with whom she'd shared one night of soul-searing passion—and a son…a son she'd kept secret from the man she'd never stopped loving. Garrett Weisz had no choice but to use Kirsten and her son to bait a killer. Despite the danger, he claimed he was no hero. But if he learned Christo was his boy, too, could he learn to be a father? Assuming he kept his new family safe long enough to try…

Book Description
A law officer must protect a beautiful stranger from a stalker in this romantic suspense from a New York Times–bestselling author. Handsome as sin and wild as the Western wind. That’s the Corbett brothers for you, and Shane’s no exception. No way is he settling down just because of some ridiculous marriage pact—especially not with a cowgirl from small-town Whitehorse who seems so young and naive. At least that’s what this hardened lawman keeps insisting. But when Maddie Cavanaugh’s kidnapped and drawn into a world of violent greed and despair, Shane jumps into action. While he has no trouble subduing her captors, resisting the force of Maddie’s charm is harder than he could’ve imagined, and it seems as if stubborn Shane may be the first of the Corbett boys to surrender his bachelorhood.

Book Description
The Sheik—E. M. Hull’s best-selling novel that became a wildly popular film starring Rudolph Valentino—kindled “sheik fever” across the Western world in the 1920s. A craze for all things romantically “Oriental” swept through fashion, film, and literature, spawning imitations and parodies without number. While that fervor has largely subsided, tales of passion between Western women and Arab men continue to enthrall readers of today’s mass-market romance novels. In this groundbreaking cultural history, Hsu-Ming Teo traces the literary lineage of these desert romances and historical bodice rippers from the twelfth to the twenty-first century and explores the gendered cultural and political purposes that they have served at various historical moments. Drawing on “high” literature, erotica, and popular romance fiction and films, Teo examines the changing meanings of Orientalist tropes such as crusades and conversion, abduction by Barbary pirates, sexual slavery, the fear of renegades, the Oriental despot and his harem, the figure of the powerful Western concubine, and fantasies of escape from the harem. She analyzes the impact of imperialism, decolonization, sexual liberation, feminism, and American involvement in the Middle East on women’s Orientalist fiction. Teo suggests that the rise of female-authored romance novels dramatically transformed the nature of Orientalism because it feminized the discourse; made white women central as producers, consumers, and imagined actors; and revised, reversed, or collapsed the binaries inherent in traditional analyses of Orientalism.
