Love Slave

2002

Shana Green's been fantasizing about being a houri, a love slave to a wealthy sheikh, for years. When fate drops Dahoud el Rashid, or "Bear," practically into her lap, she's not about to let him get away... Bear wants one last ultra-hot fling before he settles down to take over his father's oil business. He'll fulfill every last one of Shana's fantasies if it means he can have his fill. Of her.

Firestorm

2003

When he arrives at his company's drilling site, hard-nosed and cynical Jake Green is greeted by an explosion and fire. But even that pales in comparison to the sexual sparks that sizzle between him and landowner Kate Black, an innocent country schoolteacher.

Another Love

1996

Black Gold - Another Love By Ann Jacobs A tragic accident claims his wife's life, leaving Blake to deal with Erin, the surrogate mother who bears his unborn child. Duty demands that Blake marry Erin to build a life for his child, but that's all. The meddling ghost of his ex-wife, her sister, her son, and his closest friend have other plans. Sizzling chemistry, hot sex, and some heavenly intervention help them both overcome their grief and find Another Love. Publisher's Another Love is a heavily revised and updated version of Heaven Above, the Haunting Hearts romance Ann Jacobs wrote as Sara Jarrod. It introduces some of the characters in Ann's Black Gold series from Ellora's Cave.

Dallas Heat

1998

Black Gold - Dallas Heat By Ann Jacobs Sometimes Moms know best, even if they are ghosts. Two meddlesome mamas scheme to get their much-loved but imperfect children together, and a chance meeting sends a wake-up call to the libidos of the dedicated doctor and the ex-almost Olympic swimmer. Two parts ghostly intervention, two parts strong wills, serve it up with a generous portion of steaming sex: a love arranged in heaven that really turns up the Dallas Heat.

Forever Enslaved

2005

Black Gold - Forever Enslaved By Ann Jacobs Bound by love. Shana and Bear have survived the joining of their two very different, warring worlds. They've lived through the death, destruction and aftermath of war, tearing grief, and immeasurable joy. They've gone through too much to toss it all away, but that's what Shana seems determined to do. Tired of spending weeks on her own while Bear plunges into one dangerous situation after another in his search for his cousin held prisoner in Iraq, Shana flees to the sanctuary of her family in Houston. The miles do nothing to assuage her hunger for his touch, her need for the big, sexy sheikh who stole her heart. Too late she realizes that being lonely without Bear is infinitely worse than being lonely with him. But it's too late to turn back-her pride won't let her. The next move is up to Bear. For them to find the way home, Bear must prove Shana is still his love slave, his houri.the one woman for whom he will move mountains to make her every submissive fantasy come true.
