His home is stunning, but despite the luxury, Bridget discovers a man who's buried his emotions. Ever since Rashid's wife died, his little boy has been crying out for his daddy. Bridget knows she can bring these two lost souls together.... The only problem is that in the process, she's falling in love -- with them both! But how can there be a happily-ever-after for two adults who are so different in every way? There's only one way for Bridget to find out....

This is a tender romance. Not quite as good as the Liz Fielding story I read with the Sheikh, but quite sweet. I still enjoyed it, and wanted to rush through to the end to finish it.
Another ordinary girl changes life of the rich sheikh and his family.

Found the ebook by accident on Amazon.ca, after searching for new titles there online too.
I am usually not so drawn to McMahon's books but after reading a sample, I was intrigued and bought the ebook.
Love the story line indeed, especially how Rashid was drawn to Bridget from the very moment they met at her father's funeral in Italy, how could we resist setting in Italy, especially after the beautiful wedding of George Clooney and his beautiful bride, Amal?
And how Bridget always put herself not the beautiful one like her cousin, Francesca, but somehow Rashid did see the beauty inside Bridget's heart that melts his heart especially after she bonded with his son, Mo.
One of my favourite sheik books that I would love to go back reading again and again.

An excellent story.

I read this after hearing a NPR article on the romance novel industry. The program piqued my curiosity, so I decided to read a few romance novels to see what they were about
