The Sheikh S Contract Bride

An arranged marriage they've run a mile from ... but no one can run forever. Sheikh Zahir Al'Eba might have been promised to the young heiress Violet Covington, but that didn't stop him taking another bride when it suited him. Six years later, widowed and as sexy as ever, Zahir appears on Violet's doorstep demanding that their marriage contract be reinstated. But Zahir intends their marriage of convenience to be just that - he has no intention of getting up close and personal with his bride, no matter how tempting he finds her. Years earlier, Violet lost her foolish teenage heart to Zahir, and now she's determined that it won't happen again. But in his palace, as his wife, does she have the strength to stay out of his bed? And can she keep him from taking hold of her heart? She knows she'll never match up to his precious first wife, the supermodel who died while pregnant with Zahir's child, but that doesn't mean she can't forge her own relationship with the charismatic ruler. Or does it? Zahir's heart is off limits, but when Violet needs his support, will he find he has what it takes? Can he set aside the past to see what's right in front of him? A passionate tale of duty and responsibility, love and loss, THE SHEIKH'S CONTRACT BRIDE is romance from best selling author CLARE CONNELLY that will set your soul on fire.

Prince Danyal Halabi has always been the black sheep of the royal family, with no responsibilities and no plans for the future. And now thanks to his drinking buddies’ prank, he’s about to prove everyone has been right about him all along. Getting a mail-order bride was just a lark, something his friends laughingly convinced him to do after he’d had one too many. But what started out as a joke is now standing at the palace’s front door with a toddler in tow. Yes, Jayne Barnes is just as beautiful in person as she is in her profile picture, but does she really expect him to marry her? And could their contract be binding? Danyal enjoys his life as a playboy, and the thought of being a father to Jayne’s son and opening himself up to any woman is terrifying. There’s no way he’s getting married. But his older brothers have different ideas… Desperate times call for desperate measures, which was how Jayne got herself and her son, Noah, into this mess. With no home and a near-empty bank account, this mail-order bride business was a Hail Mary that actually worked. Well, would have worked if the prince had been serious about marrying her. Now, she’s stuck here in Al-Mifadhir, at least until the lawyers figure out if the contract they signed is valid. In the meantime, to avoid yet another scandal for the royals, she’s agreed to have a fake courtship to silence the gossips and appease Danyal’s brothers. Spending time with a hot prince isn’t too much of a sacrifice. Besides, her son has bonded to Danyal in a way that is as heartwarming as it is worrisome. There’s no denying Danyal is charming and spectacularly sexy. But he’s hiding something vital from her, and now Jayne has to decide if this man is worth staying for...
