From the inside cover of "Wedlocked: Banished Sheikh, Untouched Queen" by Carol Marinelli, Harlequin Presents #2908, April 2010, US Edition, first book in the Dark-Hearted Desert Men series:

Many years ago there were two Mediterranean islands ruled as one kingdom--Adamas. But bitter family feuds ripped the kingdom apart and the islands were ruled separately. The Greek Karedes family reigned supreme over glamorous Aristo and the smoldering Al'Farisi sheikhs ruled the desert lands of Calista!

When the Aristan king died, an illegitimate daughter was discovered--Stephania, the rightful heir to the throne! Ruthlessly, the Calistan sheikh Zakari seduced her into marriage to claim absolute power but was overawed by her purity and succumbed to love. The kingdom is now ruled in the spirit of hope and prosperity.

But a black mark hangs over the Calistan royal family still. As young boys three of King Zakari's brothers were kidnapped for ransom by pirates. Two safely returned, but the youngest was swept out to sea and never found and presumed dead. But then at Zakari and Stephania's wedding a stranger appeared in their midst. The ruler of a nearby kingdom--Qusay. A stranger with scars on his wrists from the pirate's ropes. A stranger who knows nothing of his past--only his future as a king!

What will happen when Xavian, King of Qusay discovers that he's living the wrong life? And who will claim the Qusay throne if the truth is unveiled?
