The Sheikh Surgeon's Baby

A secret pregnancy. A proud desert prince. And a proposal born of duty that only true love can answer.

Charmed by a mother and her little girl

Heart surgeon Melissa Cartwright is traveling to Zaheer to tell Sheikh Arun Rahman al'Kawali she is pregnant with his child. She wants nothing from him—she guards her heart as fiercely as he guards his. Their brief fortnight in Hawaii was supposed to be the end of their affair, not the beginning of a lifelong complication.

When Arun's newborn nephew requires emergency open-heart surgery, Melissa steps in to save the fragile infant. Working side by side in the operating room rekindles an irresistible desire, but neither is ready to surrender the independence they both prize.

The Arun learns of Melissa's baby bombshell, and for him marriage is the only answer. Yet before she can accept the sheikh surgeon's proposal, Melissa needs to be sure of his love.

• Marriage of Convenience: Sheikh Arun insists on a wedding to secure his unborn child's royal future, offering Melissa full command of Zaheer's new paediatric surgical unit if she will share his life.
• Close Proximity: Confined to the hospital's penthouse apartment, the two fiercely independent doctors cannot escape their rekindled passion.
• Desert Kingdom: From dawn gallops across rosy sand dunes on the mare Mershinga to moonlit strolls through palatial courtyards, Melissa must decide if she can build a future in Arun's ancient land.
