Bought by the Sheikh

She betrayed him once. He'll never let her go again…Sheikh Zavian bin Ameen Al Rasheed learned early never to trust anyone. But Gabrielle was different-or so he thought. When she accepted his father's bribe to leave him and his country, Zavian was left shattered, furious, and consumed by an obsession he couldn't shake.Gabrielle never wanted to leave. Raised by her eccentric grandfather in the deserts of Taraq, she loved Zavian-and his homeland-deeply. But she also knew the truth: Zavian was destined to be King, and tradition demanded he marry a Bedouin bride. Accepting the bribe was the only way to protect him from choosing her, and the only way to protect her own heart.A year later, as Zavian's arranged marriage looms, he uncovers a secret: a priceless national treasure has been anonymously returned to Taraq, bought for the exact sum of the bribe Gabrielle received. Convinced she is behind it, Zavian seizes the chance to reclaim her-purchasing her services from her university under the guise of duty.If she can't be his wife, then she'll be his mistress. But as passion flares and old wounds resurface, Zavian and Gabrielle must face the truth of the past-and decide whether love can overcome betrayal.An emotional, scorching sheikh romance of obsession, betrayal, forbidden love, and redemption, perfect for fans of alpha heroes and second-chance passion.--The Sheikhs of Havilah--The Sheikh's Secret BabyBought by the SheikhThe Sheikh's Forbidden LoverSurrender to the SheikhTaken for the Sheikh's Harem--Desert Kings--Wanted: A Wife for the SheikhThe Sheikh's Bargain BrideThe Sheikh's Lost LoverAwakened by the SheikhClaimed by the SheikhWanted: A Baby by the Sheikh--Secrets of the Sheikhs--The Sheikh's Revenge by SeductionThe Sheikh's Secret Love ChildThe Sheikh's Marriage Trap--Italian Romance--The Italian's Perfect LoveSeduced by the ItalianThe Passionate ItalianAn Accidental Christmas I write emotional, heartwarming romances with stories which make you turn the pages, and characters who feel real-whether they be sheikhs, British billionaires, medieval knights or everyday people whose lives are usually far from everyday (at least in my books).I'm an avid people watcher, hopeless romantic and dreamer who spends far too much time gazing out the window, imagining scenes where people struggle with life and emotions but always end up happily. Because, yes, I'm also an eternal optimist!I live in beautiful New Zealand, just north of Wellington in a small village by the sea. It's here, in a sunny window seat overlooking the hills and trees, that I write my books.Wherever you are in the world, welcome to my little corner, where I sit with my two cocker spaniels snoring gently beside me, creating worlds where people struggle with life and emotions but are always rewarded with love and happiness in the end. Because that's non negotiable! Three powerful sheikhs bound together by the ancient, fabled land of Havilah in which their countries lie, and by the promise they made to each other-to build an enduring peace in their lands, no matter what the price…
