Bound to the Sheikh & The Sheikh’s Secret Baby by Clare Connelly

Bound to the Sheikh:
An ancient debt. A deathbed promise. A marriage of duty and obligation. Desire too strong to control.
Billionaire Sheikh Afida Masou-Al doesn’t like his bride-of-convenience. In fact, he positively loathes her. She’s the last person on earth he would have married were it not for an ancient debt and a deathbed promise. Now that it’s done though he decides to make the most of it! And there is one definite silver-lining to the whole debacle. His wife is sexy as sin. He doesn’t want her anywhere but his bed …

Laurie is under no illusions: this marriage of theirs is far from traditional. She and her groom are a total failure as a couple except in one crucial way. They can’t keep their hands off one another. It’s a marriage of convenience with every reason to fail … but is it possible that hate at first sight could turn into something more. Set in the sand-swept desert Kingdon of ancient Aktaria BOUND TO THE SHEIKH by international bestseller Clare Connelly is a story that will set your soul on fire…

The Sheikh’s Secret Baby:
With the exalted Sheikh Kiral Mazroui’s wedding to a much-loved princess only days away, the last thing he expects is for an American lover from his past to arrive at his palace begging for help!

At nineteen, Abi McClean was left burned and bitter by Kiral Mazroui. She’d fallen in love with a man, completely ignorant of his exalted status as ruler of one of the most powerful countries in the world. Miserable and alone in the wake of his departure, the discovery of her pregnancy leaves her with one unshakable belief: if The Sheikh knew of the baby they’d made, he’d take it away and raise it with his new wife.

But when their son turns two, Abigail realizes they can no longer keep the child’s existence a secret. A heart condition places him in a life or death scenario that only an expensive operation can hope to heal. Still terrified of the consequences, but far more terrified of losing her little boy for good, Abigail flies to the magical-seeming desert kingdom of Delani to ask the one man she’s most afraid of to intervene for the sake of their son. The tangled web of secrets, lies, love and lust continue to weave around this couple and all the while the mythical belief in an ancient tale of The First Sheikh of Delani colours their decisions. With a little boy’s life in the balance and the fate of the country on Kiral’s shoulders, will he be able to choose between his heart and his honour, his duty and his desire?
