Claimed By The Sheikh (prequel): Passionate Hearts: A Sensual and Compelling Secret Baby Romance Novel of Forbidden Love and Second Chances

Written by Mollie Mathews

Narrated by Mollie Mathews

The secret she kept from the Sheikh...

A grief-stricken Sheikh Tariq na Hassir, the formidable ruler of the Kingdom of Avana, arrives in Paris to claim his brother's child after a car crash killed his parents--unaware that the child isn't their biological son. Salim is Tariq's son, with his former lover, a renowned architect.

Three years ago, after being banished by Tariq from his desert kingdom, Melanie Jones secretly gave her baby to Tariq's childless brother and his wife in a swap the world was never supposed to know about.

The tragedy pulls her back to the world that rejected her and the man who abandoned her--the only man capable of turning her carefully controlled world upside down.

Tariq will do whatever it takes to protect his legacy, including claiming Melanie as his bride and his son as heir before scandals ensue.

But Melanie has other plans for her future—a westernized life where she's free to operate her own business and control her own life.

If you love true romance and beautiful love stories set against a sensuous backdrop of the desert, art, and architecture, you'll love Claimed by The Sheikh (prequel).

PRAISE FOR CLAIMED BY THE SHEIKH

compellingly page-turning

“Wow, just wow, I can’t articulate enough how compellingly page-turning this remarkable story was. If I could give it more than 5 stars this would be it! This author has the gift & the power to make you experience her remarkable craft on a whole other level. I’m not one to tell the story; the blurb & other reviewers will cover that, but I will concede that this magical, mystical, hauntingly beautiful story will stay with me for the longest time. Highly recommended.”

Mollie Mathews

MOLLIE MATHEWS writes fun, sexy, passionate contemporary romance. She discovered her first love story on a trip to Paris when she was thirteen, and she’s continued to read them ever since. She was born a storyteller. As a child Mollie often had a pen in her hand and dreamed of being a writer. She wrote her first story at the age of six. It was published in the children’s section of the Sunday paper. Seeing her story in print became addictive and she continued writing short stories and poems while getting a ‘real’ job. After trying out a few fascinating careers she now lives her dream job as a writer, combining business with wild pleasure. Mollie passionately believes in the power of love to transform people’s lives. Her stories are unashamedly positive, optimistic, full of fun and sizzling passion. She has always believed authors are pens in the hand of writing goddesses sending love letters to the world, and loves it when readers write to her saying that her books gave them hope and courage during tough times. Mollie follows the sun, dividing her time between New Zealand and exotic locations—wherever she intends setting her next romance novel. She lives with her very own romantic hero, Lorenzo—tall, dark, terribly handsome and fluent in Spanish! Besides writing and reading, she enjoys anything creative. She’s an award-winning artist, and loves photography, sculpture and gardening. After living in Wellington, New Zealand for all her life, she now resides in the gorgeous Bay of Islands.
