About the book
Sheikh Ashraf ibn-Saalem's gorgeous face was unforgettable. But long-lost Barone cousin 31 year old Karen Rawlins told herself she'd best not forget the terms of their marriage deal. They both wanted a child to love. She without gaining a controlling man, he without losing his heart. It was simple: Make a baby and stay together, platonically, just long enough to give their child a name.
But nothing was simple after an Arabian night with this sexy 36 year old sheikh. Even though Karen was now pregnant, she craved his kiss, yearned to share his bed. Was it only raging hormones or had Karen broken the golden rule of her in-name-only marriagehad she fallen in love with her husband?
