Blurb

From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #980, May 2010, UK Edition:

Her royal baby secret

As treacherous and formidable as the desert he wishes to rule, Sheikh Tariq bin Khalid Al-Nur is furious that he cannot take the throne until he marries. But he cannot wed until he’s rid his dreams of the ordinary but bewitching Jessa Heath…

Jessa knows she and Tariq have unfinished business, but she is treading on shifting sands! What if she were to take control and allow herself the one night he’s offering? However, that’s all it would take to reveal the secret she has so desperately kept hidden…

Excerpt

From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #980, May 2010, UK Edition:

He did not look up at her. His fingers smoothed against her skin, tracing patterns from her hipbone to her navel, then back. Bemused, and not unaffected by his touch even now, Jessa blinked down at him.

He looked up then, and as their gazes met Jessa suddenly knew, with searing, gut-wrenching certainty, exactly what he was doing.

Tariq was not touching her randomly. He was not caressing her. He was tracing the faint white lines that scored her belly--the strechmarks she had tried to rub away, with lotions, and creams. The lines were more visible now in the bright morning light than she remembered them ever being before. They were the unmistakable evidence that she had been pregnant.

The world stopped turning. Her heart stopped beating. His eyes bored into her as his hands tightened. He only waited.

And then, when he had stared at her so long she was convinced he had ripped every last secret from her soul, his mouth twisted.

"I have only one question for you," he said, every word like a knife. "Where is the child?"
