And only a woman like Aliyah would dare to challenge a king in a passionate battle of wills… Only a fool allowed his actions to be ruled by his heart. When Kamal abruptly ended their blistering affair years ago, he vowed Aliyah would never ensnare him again. And in return for an heir, Kamal Aal Masood will give his new wife Aliyah anything-except the trust and intimacy she desperately wants. Their farce of a marriage will save his kingdom.
Getting these two married is not easy to begin with, what with this being the twenty-first century and all, but the situation is further complicated by the history between them. (For the short version, read my review of the second title, The Desert Lord’s Bride, here.)īasically, however, the peace of a rather large section of the Middle East hinges on a marriage of state between about-to-be-crowned Kamal and reluctant princess Aliyah. While reading the first two novels is not indispensable to enjoying this one, I strongly recommend it, as it gives some background to the political pressures and maneuvers that push the protagonists together. The conclusion to Ms Gates’ Throne of Judar trilogy, The Desert King tells the story of Kamal, the youngest Aal Masood brother.
