An arranged marriage they've run a mile from ... but no one can run forever. Sheikh Zahir Al'Eba might have been promised to the young heiress Violet Covington, but that didn't stop him taking another bride when it suited him. Six years later, widowed and as sexy as ever, Zahir appears on Violet's doorstep demanding that their marriage contract be reinstated. But Zahir intends their marriage of convenience to be just that - he has no intention of getting up close and personal with his bride, no matter how tempting he finds her. Years earlier, Violet lost her foolish teenage heart to Zahir, and now she's determined that it won't happen again. But in his palace, as his wife, does she have the strength to stay out of his bed? And can she keep him from taking hold of her heart? She knows she'll never match up to his precious first wife, the supermodel who died while pregnant with Zahir's child, but that doesn't mean she can't forge her own relationship with the charismatic ruler. Or does it? Zahir's heart is off limits, but when Violet needs his support, will he find he has what it takes? Can he set aside the past to see what's right in front of him? A passionate tale of duty and responsibility, love and loss, THE SHEIKH'S CONTRACT BRIDE is romance from best selling author CLARE CONNELLY that will set your soul on fire.
