Black Gold Series by Ann Jacobs

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.

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.

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 former 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... moreA tragic accident claims his wife's life, leaving Blake to deal with Erin, the surrogate mother who bears his unborn child.
