"...a sensually sweet tale that...stays in your mind..."
The Desert King's Pregnant Bride by Annie West is a sensually sweet tale that is endearing from start to finish and stays in your mind long after you've finished the book.
On the start you meet Maggie Lewis, a young lady in the Australian Outback, who's escaping the harsh realities that her current relationship was nothing more than a farce. She's devastated, and very vulnerable. Wondering alone in a down pour, she's in a light form of shock when Khalid Bin Shareef finds her. Khalid is immediately drawn to Maggie. He finds her innocence and vulnerability hard to ignore...or resist!
But when, in the harsh light of day, he finds her already gone from his bed, he can't seem to get her out of his mind. Unfortunate circumstances force him to leave Australia, but he doesn't stop thinking about Maggie. Once he has her found, he makes arrangements to have her brought to his country, and the sparks fly!
Maggie and Khalid's story is very well written. Annie West takes you through a range of emotions right up to the end. She's thrown in the perfect mix to keep you interested. You have the innocent, vulnerable heroine, the wounded widowed hero, and then to top the mix off there's a baby made in the heat of exquisite passion. This story is simply perfect for an afternoon read during the coming cold months of winter.

Book Description for The Desert King's Pregnant Bride
Trapped by desire.
Maggie is at her most defenseless when she meets Khalid, a mysterious yet sympathetic stranger. Their single night of passion has consequences neither expect. Khalid's solution to their situation is simple, a marriage of convenience. But can Maggie give up everything she knows to marry the enigmatic lord of a desert kingdom? Can she trust her life to the hands of the man who makes her vulnerable in ways she's never been before?
Khalid is determined to do the right thing by Maggie. She stirs his protective instincts even though she's one of the strongest and most resilient women he's ever met. More, she arouses desires and feelings he thought he'd buried long ago. He doesn't know where the passion between them will lead, but he refuses to back away, even if it means obliterating the walls they've each built around their emotions. He will have her as his bride and he won't settle for anything less than all of her: mind, body and heart.
