The Secret Heir Of Alazar. Кейт Хьюит
abc9-ec38-5c72-9113-6612aca0cda4">
One stolen night with the sultan...
Virginal Gracie Jones longs for adventure—and one incredible evening in Rome, she finds it in the arms of charismatic Malik al Bahjat. But morning reveals he’s next in line to Alazar’s throne! Driven away by his royal family, Gracie discovers too late that their forbidden night left her pregnant...
When Malik learns the truth a decade later, he explodes back into Gracie’s life. He sweeps her from her small hometown to his splendid kingdom, where, kiss by scorching kiss, he’s intent on legitimizing his heir—and satisfying his cravings—by crowning Gracie his desert queen!
Alone in his private office, Malik stared unseeingly out at the domes, spires and flat roofs of Teruk’s old city. He had a son—a child he’d never, ever been aware of.
A shudder escaped him and he turned from the window. He could hardly believe his grandfather had kept something so monumental from him…even as he acknowledged that Asad’s actions, their innate coldness and cruelty, would never surprise him.
And what of Gracie? For a moment he allowed himself to picture her—the tumbling brown hair, the glinting golden gaze, the wide, ready smile. Then he closed his mind to her and all the what-ifs that had ended a decade ago. He could not think of Gracie that way now. He would not. No matter what Asad had done, she had wilfully kept his child from him. The only purpose or role in his life for her now was as the mother of his child...and as his convenient wife.
Two heirs to a desert kingdom need brides to secure their legacies!
Brothers Malik and Azim al Bahjat are the two princes of Alazar, wielding enormous power with iron control. They have no interest in love—but duty demands they take convenient wives, and these ruthless royals always get what they want!
