Many years ago there were two Mediterranean islands, ruled as one kingdomAdamas. 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 smoldering AlFarisi sheikhs commanded the desert lands of Calista.
When the Aristan king died, an illegitimate daughter was discoveredStefania, the rightful heir to the throne. Ruthlessly the Calistan sheikh king Zakari seduced her into marriage, to claim absolute power, but was overawed by her purityand 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 Zakaris brothers were kidnapped for ransom by pirates. Two returned safely, but the youngest was swept out to sea and never foundpresumed dead. Then at Stefanias coronation a stranger appeared in their midstthe ruler of a nearby kingdom, Qusay. A stranger with scars on his wrists from pirates ropes. A stranger who knew nothing of his pastonly his future as a king!

Book 1: Wedlocked: Banished Sheikh, Untouched Queen by Carol Marinelli
Book 2: Tamed: The Barbarian King by Jennie Lucas
Book 3: Forbidden: The Sheikhs Virgin by Trish Morey
Book 4: Scandal: His Majestys Love-Child by Annie West
Dear Reader,
The shifting desert sands, the unforgivable heat of a desert sun and the scent of incense and shisha pipes on the warm, whispering breeze, all combined with a feisty heroine and a golden-skinned hero to end all heroeswhats not to love about sheikh romances?
Which is one reason I jumped at the chance to participate in the DARK-HEARTED DESERT MEN miniseries. How could I say no?
But it was more than that. For to be a part of a series with talented authors Carol Marinelli, Annie West and Jennie Lucas was a chance too good to miss, and there was no way I wanted to miss out on a desert adventure with some of my favorite authors.
Besides, Rafiq and Seras story had me by the throat from the very beginning. We meet Sheikh Rafiq as a ruthless tycoon, now prince and second in line to the throne of Qusay. On the other hand, Sera is a woman broken by duty and circumstance. Forced together, forced to deal with the still unavoidable attraction in the explosive cauldron of their past, can they ever find the love they once believed they were destined for?
Its fantasy all the way, with a dark-hearted desert man who finally meets his destiny in the shape of a dark-haired woman with an equally dark past. I hope its a fantasy you enjoy!
Much love, as always
Trish Morey
Trish Morey
TRISH MOREY wrote her first book at age eleven for a childrens-book-week competition. Entitled Island Dreamer, it told the story of an orphaned girl and her life on a small island at the mouth of South Australias Murray River. Island Dreamer also proved to be her first rejection. Her entry was disqualified unread and, shattered and broken, she turned to a life where she could combine her love of fiction with her need for creativityTrish became a chartered accountant! Life wasnt all dull, though, as she embarked on a skydiving course, completing three jumps before deciding that shed given her fear of heights a run for its money.
Meanwhile she fell in love and married a handsome guy who cut computer code, and Trish penned her second bookthe totally riveting A Guide to Departmental Budgeting while working for the New Zealand Treasury.
Back home in Australia after the birth of their second daughter, Trish spied an article saying that Harlequin Books was actively seeking new authors. It was one of those eureka! momentsTrish was going to be one of those authors!
Eleven years after reading that fateful article (actually June 18, 2003, at 6:32 p.m.!) the magical phone call came and Trish finally realized her dream.
According to Trish, writing and selling a book is a major life achievement that ranks up there with motherhood and jumping out of an airplane. All three take commitment, determination and sheer guts, but the effort is so very, very worthwhile.
Trish now lives with her husband and four young daughters in a special part of South Australia, surrounded by orchards and bushland and visited by the occasional koala and kangaroo.

To Romance Writers of Australia, an organization that has taken this one raw writer with a dream, held my hand through the long lean years of rejection, inspired me, educated me and celebrated with me every success along the way.
Most of all, thank you for giving me the best friends a girl could have.
I owe you so much!
I T SHOULD have been something to celebrate. Business was booming, the Aussie dollar soaring, and people were buying imports like never before. Combined with a sharp recovery in property prices, Rafiq AlRamizs import business and property investments were doing better than ever.
It should have been something to celebrate
With a growl, he turned his back on the reports and swivelled his leather high-backed chair through one hundred and eighty degrees, preferring the floor-to-ceiling views of Sydney Harbour afforded by his prime fortieth-floor office suite to the spreadsheets full of black numbers on his desk.
He didnt feel like celebrating.
What would be the point?
Because it was no fun when it was too easy.
He sighed and knotted his hands behind his head. Challenge had been the thing that had driven him over the last ten-plus years, adversity the force that had shaped him, and for a man who had built himself up from nothing into a business phenomenon, conflict had always been a driving force. Making money when everyone else was, even if he made ten times more than they did, was no achievement. Succeeding when times were tough was his challenge and his success.
Beyond the glass windows of his office the waters of Sydney Harbour sparkled like jewels, passenger ferries jostling with pleasure craft for the perfect view of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. For the first time he could remember he felt the insane urge to abandon the office during business hours and take his yacht out and join the pleasure craft taking advantage of the spectacular harbour while the weather was so perfect.
And why not? Business couldnt be better. Why shouldnt he cut himself some slack? He tugged at the knot in his tie, already warming to the notion. He could have Elaine call up that society princess hed met at last weeks charity do. He couldnt remember the cause, or her name for that matterhe was invited to so many of those things and he met so many womenbut he could remember the way the blonde had sashayed up to him, so hot in her liquid red dress that shed all but melted the ice in his glass. His PA would know who she was. That was Elaines job. And maybe by the time hed finished with the blonde the economy would have taken a tumble and life might be more interesting again.
