Desert Prince's Defiant Bride
ByPublisher Description
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.

“I had to DNF this at 20%. The writing style was awkward, and then list of problematic components in this sheik romance just grew insurmountable. The sample should offer enough information on whether the style is a good fit.
Kidnapping plots are hard to do well and this book had the Sad Prince (yes, literally what people call him!) reminiscing about forcing her onto his plane with this line:
“As he’d carried her into the cabin she’d felt so slight, her curves more girl than woman.”
So no, I am not interested in the hero’s pedophile tendencies.
And the way the hero was exoticized for his mixed race heritage felt like something HQN would publish 20 years ago.”
About Julieanne Howells
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.
