Andie Brock - Bound By His Desert Diamond

The Plan

Princess Annalina would do anything to end her arranged engagement...including getting photographed in a compromising position with a handsome stranger!

The Prince

Her mystery man is Prince Zahir Zahani—her betrothed’s brother—and the kiss that sparks unexpected need in them both traps Annalina and Zahir in a whole new kind of royal bind...till death do them part!

The Passion!

Having learned the cost of trusting others, Zahir tries to keep Annalina at a distance. But she challenges him at every turn, and suddenly, giving in to his darkest desires is all Zahir craves...

Decision made, Zahir took hold of Annalina’s arm.

‘You will accompany me back to the party, where we will seek out the King and tell him what has happened. Then we will announce your engagement.’

The fight was back in Annalina’s eyes. ‘The King won’t marry me now. That’s the reason I just kissed you in full view of that photographer.’

‘We will announce your engagement—not to the King but to his brother, the Prince.’

‘Yeah, great idea! I take it you must be employed more for your brawn than your brains?’

Zahir felt every muscle in his body stiffen at her mocking jibe. He was going to enjoy punishing her for her insolence.

‘The Prince is hardly going to want to marry me, is he?’

‘As of five minutes ago, the Prince has no choice.’

Narrowing his eyes, Zahir watched defiance turn to confusion, and confusion turn to a creeping realisation. A strangely perverse sense of pleasure stole over him.

‘Ah, yes, Princess, I see the truth is dawning.’ Zahir threw back his shoulders, almost enjoying himself. ‘I am Zahir Zahani, Prince of Nabatean, brother of King Rashid. And, as of five minutes ago, your future husband.’

Wedlocked!

Conveniently wedded, passionately bedded!

Whether there’s a debt to be paid, a will to be obeyed or a business to be saved… She’s got no choice but to say, ‘I do!’

But these billionaire bridegrooms have got another think coming if they think marriage will be that easy…

Soon their convenient brides become the object of an inconvenient desire!
