meat to produce. I want it delivered and distributed amongst the people. Erin went through the list in
her head before adding, And sanitation. Something needs to be done about the makeshift toilets and
there really should be a doctor out there to check to make sure that no one is ill.
Talib shook his head, I cannot do that. His Majesty is the only one that could give those types of
orders. Or the Minister of Defense. You do not have the authority.
Erin crossed her arms over her chest and stared Talib down. Do you know what I did for a
living before I came here? At Talib s cautionary nod, she continued, Then you are well aware of the
fact that with one phone call, I can mobilize humanitarian efforts and have people coming in from all
over the world. Now, do you really think that His Majesty would want that level of embarrassment
while he is in the middle of negotiations?
Erin mentally crossed her fingers hoping that Talib wouldn t realize that she was lying. As a
lawyer, she had the power to help people in court, what she was proposing was way outside her
bounds, but so long as he didn t know, perhaps she could help these people.
Talib continued to stare at her, seeming to weigh her threat. Shaking his head, he retrieved his
phone. After speaking at length in Arabic, he disconnected the call and put his phone back in his
pocket.
It will be done, he told her curtly, as she smiled in triumph.
Chapter 17
Kamal returned to the palace only to be met at the entrance by Talib. After speaking with him, he
strode into the palace, fury written all over his face.
What have you done now, habibti? Kamal demanded as he stormed into their quarters.
Rising to her feet, prepared to fight, What you should have done in the beginning, Erin
answered hotly. Kam, have you seen the refugee camp?
No. I was assured by the Minister of Defense that everything was under control. Why?
Really? That s his idea of everything under control? There was complete lack of sanitation,
limited fresh water, none of which for bathing, and they were running out of food. Some of them may
even be ill, not that you would know, since no one has been out there to check on them!
Are you telling me that Talib took you to the refugee camps? Kamal asked in a quiet, but
carefully controlled voice.
Of course not. I asked him to but he refused. I made the driver take me out there this morning
and it s a damn good thing that he did.
Kamal cursed in Arabic as he paced in front of her, Why did you not listen to Talib?
I wanted to see the camp for myself. When I realized how bad it was, I ordered supplies brought
out there immediately along with medical staff to make sure that no one has become ill, on your
watch, Kam. Do you really want a bunch of refugees to become ill or possibly die while in your
country? she demanded. At Kamal s rising anger, Erin realized that she might be going too far, but
after everything that happened to her, she was not going to back down from helping these people.
Kamal stared at her in shock as he watched her speak. He realized that there was much more to
her than he thought as he saw how passionate she was about helping others. A slow smile crept across
his face as he considered what an asset she would be at his side as Sheikha. He also planned to have
a long discussion with his Minister of Defense. He had ordered that the refugees be well taken care
of. Having his bride-to-be discover the opposite was not something he was willing to ignore.
Walking toward her, he took her hands as he looked at her. Erin, thank you for seeing to the
needs of the refugees, he told her as she looked up at him startled at his sudden shift. Smiling down
at her, Tell me, could you really marshal that level of humanitarian response if Talib hadn t made
those arrangements? Erin s blush answered his question better than any words. Chuckling, he drew
her into his arms, hugging her to him as he kissed the top of her head. If I am going to keep your
secret, then I need you to do something for me.
Erin immediately stiffened in his arms as she looked up at him warily. And that would be?
Not to worry yourself so. It is not good for the baby or for you. At Erin s nod of agreement, he
tilted her head up to kiss her before stepping reluctantly back. I need to go take care of a few things,
but I will be back soon. Why don t you try to get some rest while I m gone.
Chapter 18
Kamal spent the next few hours in his office. After a heated discussion with his Minister of
Defense on what constitutes appropriate treatment, he had several successful phone calls from the aid
workers at the refugee camp to report that those refugees who were ill were being treated and not
only had both food and water been delivered, but the sanitation issue was under control. Within the
week, the refugees would be allowed to return to their homes, and any damage suffered during the
fighting would be recompensed.
