Defiant in the Desert
When only scandal will do Sara Williams’s hand in marriage was bought and paid for when she was a child, to cover a debt the size of a small country.

Middle Eastern diplomat Suleiman Abd al-Aziz has the honour of delivering Sara to her desert destiny – the bed of her sheikh fiancé. But with his charge so sexy when she’s angry, and so definitively forbidden, Suleiman’s iron will is tested to the limit.

1,293 books464 followersI was told off as a child for making up stories—little did I know that one day I’d earn my living by writing them!
To the horror of my parents, I left school at sixteen and held a bewildering variety of jobs: I was a London DJ (in the now-trendy Primrose Hill), a decorator and a singer. After that I became a cook, a photographer and, eventually, a nurse. I waitressed in the south of France, drove an ambulance in Australia, saw lots of beautiful sights but could never settle down. Everywhere I went I felt like a square peg—until one day I started writing again and then everything just fell into place. I felt like Cinderella must have when the glass slipper fit!
Today, I have the best job in the world, writing passionate romances for Harlequin. I like writing stories which are sexy and fast-paced, yet packed full of emotion—stories that readers will identify with, laugh and cry along with.
My interests are many and varied—chocolate and music, fresh flowers and bubble baths, films, cooking and trying to keep my home from looking burglarized! Simple pleasures—you can’t beat them!
I live in Winchester, one of the most stunning cities in the world, but don’t take my word for it—come see for yourself! I regularly visit London and Paris. Oh, and I love hearing from my readers all over the world…so I think it’s over to you!

Not a big fan of non-virginal heroines. Considering that she was infatuated (in love) with hero when she was younger, the heroine when she moved to London had sexual relationship/sex with another man. Just for the experience?? Regret buying this one.😡

A major part of the story takes place in UK and therefore I don’t know if this can be called a desert romance strictly. Suleiman who had a difficult childhood was a great hero and compromised a lot to make Sara happy. He was not the typical alpha I-am-always-right kind of hero but I liked that about him. Rather than forcing Sara to set her priorities according to his wishes, he was willing to change for her.Read More
