Crowned at the Desert King's Command

From desert captive to convenient queen!

The borders of Sheikh Tariq’s kingdom are permanently closed—just like his ironclad heart. After rescuing lost archaeologist Charlotte from the desert, he can’t let her go. And when he requires a bride, their mutual desire compels Tariq to crown Charlotte as his queen!

Innocent dreamer Charlotte thought passion was for other people—until Tariq proves how deliciously wrong she is! The pleasure of their marriage bed makes her feel alive. But the intensity of her connection with Tariq makes Charlotte feel something infinitely more dangerous…

From Harlequin Presents: Escape to exotic locations where passion knows no bounds.
