The Desert King's Housekeeper Bride

by Carol Marinelli

"Housekeeper Effie, a practical yet slightly frumpy virgin, has been summoned to the desert to serve the skeikh! Ruthless Sheikh King Zakari had gone to seek solitude in the sands, but nights alone are not something this ruler is used to. However, with his housekeeper at his service, there's no need to allow his bed to grow cold... . After hot hours of passion, Effie's heart is near to bursting. But what she doesn't realize is that something has compelled Zakari to take her, a lowly servant, as his royal bride"--Cover verso.
