He never forgot the woman he banished…
Grief-stricken after a devastating car crash kills his brother and sister-in-law, powerful Sheikh Tariq na Hassir arrives in Paris prepared to claim the orphaned child as his own.
Instead, he uncovers a scandal capable of destroying a kingdom.
The little boy isn’t his brother’s son.
He’s Tariq’s heir.
Three years ago, after being cast out from the Kingdom of Avana by the man she loved, architect Melanie Jones made an impossible choice. To protect her baby from the ruthless world of royal politics, she secretly entrusted her son to Tariq’s childless brother and his wife in a deception never meant to be uncovered.
Now tragedy has brought her face-to-face with the only man capable of unraveling her carefully controlled world.
Tariq is determined to protect his legacy at any cost—even if it means forcing Melanie back into his glittering desert kingdom as his bride and claiming their son before scandal erupts.
But Melanie refuses to surrender the independent life she fought to build. She wants freedom. Her own career. Her own future. And someday, a man who loves her not for duty or appearances… but for who she truly is.
As old desire reignites beneath the blazing desert sun, Melanie and Tariq must decide whether love is powerful enough to heal betrayal, heartbreak, and the secrets that nearly destroyed them both.

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.” ~ Terrygrabbed me from the first page
“This book grabbed me from the first page. Both lead characters were portrayed fully as real people, not just by how they looked, as in many books. There being a child involved added to my enjoyment!” ~ Melbadetermined to carve a career for herself
“The tone for this book is set in the opening chapters as the young Sheikh is faced with ongoing difficulties in the kingdom created by his atrocious father. He is fighting an ongoing battle to prevent himself from being sucked into the past and to create a new and prosperous future for his people. Tariq’s previous rejection of Melanie and the results have soured her against romantic love and made her determined to carve a career for herself.” ~ Margaretfiery, passionate and conflicting
“I really like the premise of the book. I always like the royal romance with impediments to happiness, and this book has it in spades. I like the strong figure of the Sheikh and the strong heroine who has built a professional career. Immediately, I can see lots of problems that seem insurmountable at first: their past stormy relationship, the baby’s secret, her desire to have her own career, his desire for an heir, his demand to raise the child, his vow to swear off women. I also like that, right off the bat, we learn about his plan to build a reserve for animals and to right the many wrongs from his father’s legacy. These are all good foundations for a fiery, passionate, and conflicting relationship.” ~ Elainefantastic premise that has a substantial conflict
“Fantastic premise that has a substantial conflict behind it. I like Melanie a lot. A strong female heroine is what I want to read. I think that is particularly important with such a powerful man, and here in this instance, someone who can wield such power. I love love love the beginning. This is one tough guy but the book opens with him protecting a baby giraffe. Fantastic opening.” ~ Leanne
