She will become his bride!
Newly crowned sultan Zaid Al-Ameen is determined to rid his country of corruption. Unfortunately for Esme Scott, that means arresting her conman father—leaving her with little choice but to strike a deal with his captor.
Zaid sees a golden opportunity in social worker Esme: his country needs reform, and it’s her area of expertise. But working together sparks an insatiable longing—and after a heated encounter, they realize she’s pregnant!
Zaid’s sensual power over Esme leaves her helpless to resist his demands. She never imagined she’d become wife to a sultan—until Zaid’s expert touch persuades her otherwise...
‘Are we going somewhere?’ Esme asked.
‘Yes, we’re returning to the royal palace,’ Zaid said.
‘Why do I feel that there’s more going on here than you’re telling me?’ she pressed.
A muscle rippled in his jaw. ‘Because there is. I suggested that we take some time to absorb the possibility that you may be carrying my child. I was wrong to do so. If you are truly carrying my child, then we need to put certain arrangements in place.’
‘What kind of arrangements?’ she asked suspiciously.
‘The kind that you will be apprised of in due course.’
‘So I will be the last to know?’
‘No, you will be one of the first to know when final decisions have been made.’
She wasn’t going to get any more out of him.
Esme became blindingly aware of one thing. Whether her pregnancy had been confirmed or not didn’t matter to Zaid. While his heir was even a possibility he was going all out to lay his claim on it.
MAYA BLAKE’s hopes of becoming a writer were born when she picked up her first romance at thirteen. Little did she know her dream would come true! Does she still pinch herself every now and then to make sure it’s not a dream? Yes, she does! Feel free to pinch her, too, via Twitter, Facebook or Goodreads! Happy reading!
