Lust at first sight turns quickly into love and when he proposes marriage, she doesn't need to think twice. Why would she? Spending the rest of her life with Alex is a dream come true... until she discovers that their marriage is based on lies and revenge and a dark attraction that will consume her if she lets it. THE SHEIKH'S CONVENIENT MISTRESS The business which brings Sheikh Zamir Fayez to the deserts of Las Vegas is far from pleasant, and it's vital that it be kept secret. After all, the last thing he needs is news of his brother's drug addiction hitting the tabloids. Enter Olivia Henderson, a celebrity concierge who specialises in meeting the requirements of her clients no matter how difficult they might be. Only nothing in Olivia's experience has prepared her for a man like Zamir. He's domineering, arrogant and sexy, and he makes no effort to hide the fact that he wants Olivia in more ways than the professional. Nothing in their relationship is certain, but for one thing: that it must end. For Zamir will be King, and the hopes of a nation rest upon his shoulders. Olivia is a perfect distraction in his moment of need but she's hardly wife material. So why does he find it so hard to leave her, even when his duty calls him? And will he ever forgive her for how quickly she moves on? THE BRAZILIAN'S FORGOTTEN LOVER A secret child. A romance in tatters. And a thousand reasons Cristiano and Ava can never be together.
