FORBIDDEN: THE SHEIKH’S VIRGIN – Dark-Hearted Desert Men 3 (Harlequin comics)

Though technically royalty in Qusay, Rafiq distanced himself from the throne, leaving his homeland at a young age and becoming a successful businessman in Australia. But fate leads him home when his brother’s coronation ceremony approaches, and Rafiq returns to Qusay. There he encounters Sera, the woman who left him to marry another man. Sera has been widowed and now acts as Rafiq’s mother’s companion. At first Sera avoids Rafiq, but while journeying through the desert kingdom together the two slowly become close once again. Suddenly, Rafiq’s brother renounces the throne, and their newly rekindled romance is threatened once again.
