From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #956, March 2010, UK Edition:

A virgin bride for His Majesty’s pleasure

About to lose his kingdom, Xavian is marrying for power – his wedding night will be purely for duty. As he unveils his new queen, nervous and naked, bathed in fragrant oils, he’s stunned that she’s as beautiful as the desert stars…

This queen deserves a royal bedding worthy of the Arabian Nights…and in her arms Xavian discovers that, though he may not have a kingdom, he has the strength and power of a thousand kings. But this untouched queen could be his undoing…

Blurb 2

From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #956, March 2010, UK Edition:

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

When the Aristan king died, an illegitimate daughter was discovered--Stefania, the rightful heir to the throne! Ruthlessly, the Calistan Sheikh King Zakari seduced her into marriage, to claim absolute power, but was over-awed by her purity--and succumbed to love. Now they rule both Aristo and Calista together, 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 returned safely, but the youngest was swept out to sea and never found--presumed dead. Then, at Stefania's coronation, a stranger appeared in their midst--the ruler of a nearby kingdom, Qusay. A stranger with scars on his wrists from pirates' 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 the truth is reveiled?
