A sheikh, his innocent…and their desert wedding deal! USA TODAY bestselling author Heidi Rice is stirring up plenty of drama in this royal marriage of convenience romance! A practical agreement… An indisputable desire! Sheikh Karim needs a fiancée in order to avoid royal retribution from his tyrant father. Orla Calhoun needs to save her family’s legendary stud farm. The “no sex” clause of their contract should make things simple…if they can contain their simmering chemistry! Orla’s rich-girl reputation belies years of hard work and her most protected she’s a virgin! That’s never been an issue, until the intense attraction between her and Karim refuses to subside. That attraction becomes unavoidable when duty calls Karim—and his bride-to-be—back to Zafar… From Harlequin Escape to exotic locations where passion knows no bounds.
Author
My name's Heidi Rice, I'm a USA Today Bestselling author. I'm married with two sons (which gives me rather too much of an insight into the male psyche!). I love my job because it involves sitting down at my computer and getting swept up in a world of high emotions, sensual excitement, funny feisty women, sexy tortured men and glamourous locations where laundry doesn't exist ... Not bad, eh. Then I turn off my computer and do chores (usually involving laundry!) But when I'm not doing laundry or fantasising about my own protagonists I love to read romance. Now I believe wholeheartedly that readers should give honest and open reviews on Goodreads and Amazon and elsewhere. If you didn't like a book you are entitled to say so (even if it's mine! ouch). But you may notice that none of my book reviews are less than four-stars. That's simply because as an author myself I know how pathetically sensitive I am about bad reviews and with that in mind I prefer to spread the love among other authors—and don't do public reviews of books I didn't like. Just thought I'd clarify that, in case anyone was thinking I was Pollyanna!
