      Wife—by royal declaration!

      Language teacher Molly Carlisle is furious when she is kidnapped by an impulsive young sheikh and taken to the kingdom of Djalia. Until she meets her abductor’s brother, and his commanding charisma sends a shock wave of need through her...

      King Azrael fights hard to resist the temptation of Molly’s bountiful curves, especially when a sandstorm strands them overnight in the desert. To protect her reputation from scandal, Azrael declares them secretly married, only to discover his tactical announcement is legally binding—Molly is now his queen! And Azrael is determined to claim his wedding night...

      ‘To recap: you’re telling me,’ Azrael breathed tautly, ‘that even today in Djalia a man can marry a woman simply by declaring that she is his wife?’

      ‘In front of witnesses. The marriage contract is verbal and complete as long as there are witnesses—’

      ‘But what about the bride’s consent?’ Azrael demanded. ‘In such a situation the woman has not given her consent.’

      ‘In law she does not have to give consent for the union to be binding and legal,’ the professor assured him. ‘You must appreciate that such arrangements were common hundreds of years ago, when women were viewed as property. By ancient law you are now a married man and the young lady is your legal wife. May I wish you both every happiness, Your Majesty…’

      Azrael’s usual cool was fracturing fast. He was married—legally married—and there was nothing he could do about it. Because even if he was desperate enough to admit that he had lied in the first place the public declaration of marriage he had made would still stand.

      He breathed in deep and slow, striving for calm. ‘That was…enlightening,’ he conceded quietly, for want of any better word. ‘I must discuss the situation with…with my wife.’

      His wife. It changed everything. His wife.

       Wedlocked!

      Conveniently wedded, passionately bedded!

      Whether there’s a debt to be paid,

      a will to be obeyed or a business to be saved…

      she’s got no choice but to say, ‘I do!’

      But these billionaire bridegrooms have got another

      think coming if they think marriage will be that easy…

      Soon their convenient brides become the objects

      of an inconvenient desire!
