An alternate cover edition can be found here and here. Kiwi cook Stacy is hell-bent on gaining advanced medical treatment for her beloved half-brother David or he may never walk again. An unexpected letter has revealed his father is a Middle Eastern King – with money to burn, and surely an interest in keeping David’s existence a secret? Stacy heads to Al Sounam intent on blackmail. Crown Prince Akil bin Khalid knows his fate. As the King’s oldest son he must marry for political reasons. No suitable woman has yet intrigued him, but surely he can indulge in a final fling? Akil discovers Stacy playing beach volleyball – in a very small bikini. The handsome Sheikh is intensely attracted to this enchanting and unsuitable foreigner, but by inviting her back to the palace is he endangering his family, his country, his inheritance, and his heart? WARNING: Secrets and lies, rubies and spies, and a sheikh with a huge four-poster bed.

Kris writes sizzling contemporary romance, pure and simple. Well, maybe not that pure! They're sexy stories about couples who fall in love, and into bed along the way, just like real people do. The Scarlet Bay series about the billionaire Wynn family consists of Summer Sparks, Summer Secrets, and Summer Spice. Her South & Sexy books are set in her capital city of Wellington so she can make use of the beautiful harbor in the plots. Her Heartlands series follows the girls who live deep in the New Zealand countryside. Her all-time bestseller is 'Taken By The Sheikh', and there's 'Desired By The Sheikh' too. She's now writing the Merry Summerfield cozy mysteries - lots of cats and dogs and amateur sleuthing. The first title is Murder in the Aisle, followed by Xmas Marks the Spot, Murder! they Meowed, and Body! they Barked. For good measure, she's cloned herself! You'll now find some of her books in new, much sweeter editions under the author name of Kerri Peach. Kris/Kerri is an advertising copywriter and a decor specialist, and the author of 'The Boat Builder's Bed', of which more than two million were downloaded free.
