A forbidden affair. A ticking clock. A love neither can deny… When Lucy Gee sails to the desert kingdom of Sitra, she has only one goal—to find her missing sister, Maia, last seen in the arms of the King. Lucy doesn’t believe in long-term relationships, and certainly not with royalty. But from the moment she meets the new King, Sheikh Razeen ibn Shad, her carefully built defenses begin to crumble. Razeen never wanted the throne, but fate left him no choice. With his father and brother gone, his duty is clear: secure his kingdom by marrying a Sitran princess. He has two weeks before he must announce his bride. Two weeks in which to prove himself the king his people need. And two weeks in which to surrender to the one woman he cannot resist. What begins as a dangerous fling soon burns into something neither expected—something that defies tradition, duty, and even reason. But when secrets emerge and the clock runs out, Razeen must choose between his crown and his heart… and Lucy must decide if she can risk everything for love. Fans of sheikh romance, forbidden love, and passionate marriage-of-duty stories will be swept away by this intoxicating tale of desire, honor, and impossible choices. —Desert Kings— Wanted: A Wife for the Sheikh The Sheikh's Bargain Bride The Sheikh's Lost Lover Awakened by the Sheikh Claimed by the Sheikh Wanted: A Baby by the Sheikh —Sheikhs of Havilah— The Sheikh's Secret Baby Bought by the Sheikh The Sheikh's Forbidden Lover Surrender to the Sheikh Taken for the Sheikh's Harem —Secrets of the Sheikh— The Sheikh's Revenge by Seduction The Sheikh's Secret Love Child The Sheikh's Marriage Trap —Diamond Sheikhs— At the Sheikh's Command At the Sheikh's Bidding At the Sheikh's Pleasure —The Sheikhs' Convenient Brides— Stranded with the Sheikh Seduced by the Sheikh
