the only man capable of turning her carefully controlled world upside down

A grief-stricken Sheikh Tariq na Hassir, the formidable ruler of the Kingdom of Avana, arrives in Paris to claim his brother's child after a car crash killed his parents—only to find out from the hospital that the child isn't their biological son. Salim is Tariq's son, with his former lover, a renowned architect.

Three years ago, after being banished by Tariq from his desert kingdom, Melanie Jones secretly gave her baby to Tariq's childless brother and his wife, in a swap the world was never supposed to discover.

The tragedy pulls her back to the world that rejected her and the man who abandoned her—the only man capable of turning her carefully controlled world upside down.

Tariq will do whatever it takes to protect his legacy, including claiming Melanie as his bride and his son as heir before scandals ensue. But Melanie has other plans for her future—a westernized life where she's free to operate her own business, control her life, and hold onto her wish that one day she'll meet a man who loves her for who she truly is.

If you love beautiful stories, set against a sensuous backdrop of the sensuous desert, art and innovative architecture you'll love the prequel for Claimed by The Sheikh.
