Desert Rogues: The Sheik's Virgin

A fan favorite from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery, originally published in 2002.

A brazen stranger has made it his mission to chaperone innocent, beautiful Phoebe Carson around his native land. But what will Phoebe do when she discovers her suitor is none other than Prince Nasri Mazin—and he has seduction on his mind?

Fresh from Florida, the innocent tourist only traveled to Lucia-Serrat to honor her late great-aunt’s memory at the historic Parrot Bay Inn. Yet behind the wheel of his silver Mercedes, the worldly widower sweeps her through fragrant spice groves and private palace corridors—determined to awaken a womanly passion she never knew existed.

When lavish bouquets and seaside dinners give way to breathless embraces, she finds herself completely defenseless against a commanding suitor who refuses to let her walk away.
