About the book
Set up against her will as a potential Arabian queen for the notorious Sheikh Karim, unworldly Eva has a plan to deter the desert king. She will convince him she's a modern, sexually experienced woman--and definitely "not" marriage material--even though she is really still a virgin. However, the next thing she knows, Eva's become a bride! And her new husband is having a startling effect on her... She finds herself increasingly impatient; could it be that shy Eva is curious about what lies ahead in the sheikh's marriage bed?
