Kismet
Monica Burns writes with sensitivity and panache. Don't miss this one!” — Sabrina Jeffries, NYT bestselling author It was a gamble she was born to make…
Raised in a brothel at a young age, Allegra Synnford quickly learned that survival meant taking charge of her destiny. Now, a renowned courtesan skilled in the pleasures of the flesh, she chooses her lovers carefully—vowing never to be vulnerable to any one man. Until a mesmerizing Sheikh strips that control from her…
With a man who wasn’t used to losing.
Sheikh Shaheen of the Amazigh has been hiding from his past for a long time, but not enough to forget how another courtesan made him abandon his life as the Viscount Newcastle. It’s why the yearnings this dangerous temptress ignites within him are so troubling. Worse, thoughts of Allegra pervade every fantasy, threatening to undermine his cover. With old enemies circling, experience tells him he must resist her charms at all cost. In fact, he’s betting on it. That’s a risky wager when it comes to a woman of pleasure. But Allegra has her own reasons for playing games…with a man who can’t afford to lose. What happens between them is Kismet…
Dangerous
Behind the mask lies love-a dangerous and deadly emotion.
Constance Athelson, Viscountess Westbury has a gift she can’t reveal. She sees things others can’t, including the dead. The only thing she can’t see is into the heart of Lucien Blakemore, Earl of Lyndham. After one blissful night in his arms, she knows if she’s ever to win his heart, she must free him from his tortured past.
Lucien Blakemore met the Egyptian goddess Isis at a masked ball, but she vanished into the night before he could learn her real name. It’s just as well, since the Blakemore Curse makes love a dangerous and deadly emotion for him. But the erotic night he spent with his mysterious lover makes him want to throw caution aside-if only for one more night with his masked goddess.
This story features one of Sebastian Rockwood's younger sisters. Sebastian's story is told in my New Concepts Publishing release, Obsession. The stories do not need to be read in any order.
Mirage
A man without a country...
Half Bedouin, half English, Viscount Blakeney is a man without a country. In his heart, he's always been Sheikh Altair Mazir, but a deathbed oath forces him to divide his time between England and his beautiful Sahara. Prejudice a constant companion, he knows the folly of love and he can never trust a woman to love him for who he is—a half-breed.
An independent woman seeking a Pharaoh's treasure...
But when unorthodox, independent Alexandra Talbot storms the Ancient Antiquities Department in the male-dominated British Museum, he’s suddenly face-to-face with a prophecy that’s been handed down since the days of Ramses the II. Compelled to protect the feisty American as she searches for the Pharaoh’s treasure, he finds himself getting more than he bargained for.

Banished Hero
With no memory of her past, Faye Lynn Berton clings to a father who curses her ability to shape-shift, then uses her special skill to scam local villagers. The only freedom she knows comes as she soars through the sky in falcon form. A chance meeting with another changling turns her world upside down. Beyond satisfying the powerful sexual cravings that follow transformation, he reveals a surprising dimension of sex between their kind…one to unlock the secrets of her soul.
Havyn Westmore has questions…Faye Lynn holds the answers. Determined to unravel her secrets, he strives to gain her freedom and trust. Teaching her the finer techniques of transformation keeps her close while sex strengthens their bond. But on the trail of discovery, Havyn must confront his own past. Accused of a heinous crime, he was banned from his homeland. Now, he must choose between returning to face certain execution—or robbing Faye Lynn of her birthright and a life in Paradise.

MIRAGE by Monica Burns
As hot as the desert, this 2009 EPPIE award winning novel from Monica Burns was also a RWA Golden Heart Finalist.
A man without a country...Half Bedouin, half English, the Viscount Blakeney has always been Sheikh Altair Mazir in his heart. A victim of prejudice from both cultures, he's learned to trust no one. But a feisty American archeologist and the heat she ignites in him is about to change all that. And more.
An independent woman hunting for a Pharaoh's treasure...Alexandra Talbot is used to men questioning her intelligence simply because of her sex. But the mysterious Viscount isn't like other men. He never questions her ability to find the lost city of Ramesses II, only her resistance to the sinful pleasure of his touch.
An ancient prophecy...Bound by a Pharaoh's prophecy, desire flares between them beneath the desert stars. But murder and betrayal turn their quest into a deadly game, pushing their fragile trust to the breaking point. Their survival hinges on rebuilding that trust.
