'Suitable for his bed... Outspoken nanny Amy Bannester seems to forget that servitude and silence should go hand in hand. But Sheikh Emir can think of more pleasurable uses for her luscious mouth... But not as his bride! Despite their all-consuming passion, the rules governing the desert kingdom of Alzan make it impossible for Amy to wear his crown. He lost his first wife as she gave birth to his precious twin daughters, but Emir must have a male heir for his lineage to continue - and it's the one thing that Amy can't give him...' (Publisher's blurb)

'I could never be queen, and not just because I’m a commoner…

'Amy is the nanny for the twin daughters of the strict and controlling desert king Emir. Then one day he suddenly proposes to her. Emir lost his wife, the queen, in childbirth a year ago, and he must remarry for the sake of his kingdom, where only sons can succeed the throne. He reasons that since Amy already loves him and the twins, it’s a natural fit. Amy can’t believe he caught on to her feelings about him, and his sensual gaze makes her feel as if she’s on fire… But there’s a reason Amy can’t be queen…and it could shake the foundations of law in his kingdom.' (Publication summary)
