The Sheik and the Pregnant Bride
(Desert Rogues, No. 12)


Maggie Collins had come to the exotic kingdom of El Deharia to restore Prince Qadir's antique

car…not to get married. The no-frills mechanic had been burned by love before, and marriage—

even to a seductive sheik—didn't top her agenda. But then Qadir made her an offer she should

have refused.

It was meant to be a temporary engagement…until Maggie discovered she was pregnant. Now Qadir

was honor-bound to give Maggie and her child the protection of his name. He never expected her

to sweep him off his feet.

Would there be a royal wedding after all?

Appetizer
Cal Buchanan needs a top-flight chef to take over his failing Seattle restaurant, The Waterfront. He can afford to hire the best in town -- the only problem is that the best happens to be his ex-wife, Penny Jordan.

Entree
Penny really needs this opportunity, but she doesn't need the distraction of working with her ex. She's sworn off romance -- she's even having a baby on her own. But before she knows it, the heat is on . . . and the attraction between her and Cal moves from a low simmer to a full boil!

Dessert
The rest should be easy as pie, but a secret from Cal's past could spoil everything. Maybe it's true that too many cooks spoil the broth -- or maybe two is enough to make it irresistible.
