About this ebook
Julieanne Howells entertains with this passionate desert romance in her stunning debut for Harlequin Presents!
A royal ruse...
... or a royal wedding?
A pretend engagement to the future king of Nabhan wasn't part of Lily Marchant's plan for proving her brother's innocence, but brooding Crown Prince Khaled is quite insistent. The simmering chemistry they share makes playing his fiancée in public easy—and resisting temptation in private nearly impossible!
Impetuous Lily couldn't be further from appropriate as a desert bride! Even so, Lily makes Khaled feel more alive than he's felt in years. And the thought of a real dutiful marriage grows less attractive with every moment he spends in her intoxicating presence...
From Harlequin Presents: Escape to exotic locations where passion knows no bounds.

When Lily tries to get evidence of her brother's innocence from a computer in Prince Khaled's private chamber, the prince catches her in the act. He gives her a choice: either he'll call the authorities, or she'll stay in the capital as his "guest" until her brother shows himself. But the queen mistakes Lily for his girlfriend, and Khaled decides it will serve his purpose for Lily to go along with that assumption. As Lily and Khaled gather evidence to lead to the true criminal, will their fake relationship turn real? I really enjoyed this book. Both Lily and Khaled are clever and resourceful, so they're constantly trying to one-up each other. Yet they both have memories of what they meant to each other as children, which tempers their enmity. This is a fun, emotional enemies-to-lovers royal romance with great banter and a strong plot. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
About the author
Julieanne Howells loves the romance of a stormy day, which is just as well because she lives in the rainy North East of England. On inclement days, if she's not writing and reading, she has a fondness for cooking. Sometimes her efforts are even edible. She compensates for her lack of domestic skills by being an expert daydreamer, always imagining ways for plucky heroines to upend the world of handsome, provoking heroes. For Julieanne, writing for Harlequin is just about the perfect job.
