Zev is about to take over as ruler of his province, and he’s determined to defy the archaic prophecy that states he’s required to marry. After all, he’s certain his progressive subjects don’t expect him to fulfill such a ridiculous belief… Do they? Zev never leaves anything to chance, so he convinces Meredith, his best-friend-with-benefits back in the States, to agree to a fake engagement. She’ll get a free vacation to the Middle East, and he’ll get some respite. What could go wrong? But Zev quickly learns that when it comes to romance, nothing is ever that easy… Meredith is a bit skeptical about Zev’s idea, but she just can’t pass up the chance to escape her hometown. Besides, she’s happy to help Zev out as long as he understands she’s not looking for a long-term relationship. But soon after they announce their engagement, Meredith finds herself feeling a bit queasy… Surely, she can’t be pregnant. And if she is, can this fake romance become real, before they both end up with broken hearts?

Book excerpt: Danielle Greenski's life is going to change in a big way. Single and newly pregnant, her days of traveling the globe for work and living a life of adventure are about to end. But not just yet—when she meets a gorgeous man who's the perfect "last fling" before she settles down to mommyhood. After an amazing weekend with Sheikh Riyad Karawi, she's totally fine with saying good-bye—until she's kidnapped by rebels who think she's carrying the Sheikh's baby. Apparently, in addition to being a Sheikh, her weekend lover has some other big secrets he hasn't shared. Like how he's part of the country's elite military squad. And wanted by rebels. And maybe the most intriguing man she's ever met… The last thing this womanizing charmer needs is to fall for a pregnant woman—it would completely blow the playboy persona he's been using to get close to the rebel forces. But that's what Sheikh Riyad is faced with after he meets American firebrand, Danielle. He can't figure out why he feels the need to protect a woman he's just met, why he can't seem to get her out of his system—no matter how hard he tries—and why the thought of her going home is punching him in the gut. For now, he'll just keep her around until he knows she's safe. Or maybe, until he can convince her to stay. If only he can make Danielle believe that he's not just the playboy she met, but a man she could love forever.

Book excerpt: Hamid Al-Qasha has been a stickler for his country’s traditions ever since his father the king died when Hamid was just sixteen. But even he’s thrown when a merchant insists on paying a debt by invoking an ancient law allowing him to use his lovely daughter Talitha as collateral. Such payment is repugnant to Hamid, so while he accepts the bargain to keep tradition alive, he decides instead to treat Tali as an honored guest of his palace for one month. Yet before he knows what’s happening, Tali has charmed everyone in the palace, including Hamid’s young son. When a compromising but innocent picture of Hamid and Tali is secretly taken and made public, Hamid, in an effort to protect Tali’s honor, blurts out all is well—they’re engaged. They are so not engaged, but what can Tali do except go along with the fake engagement to appease her angry father? Now, thanks to tradition, her stay at the palace must be extended for another month. As much as Tali embraces the modern and pushes the traditional envelope, she’s secretly glad to stay. Hamid may be a bit old-fashioned, but he’s not the tyrant her father is—plus his kisses make her knees weak and his sexy voice makes her insides melt. When they’re in public, he’s the perfect fiancé: caring, loving, attentive. If only it weren’t just a show for the paparazzi. If only she could stop her heart leaping every time she sees him. If only she were smart enough to not fall in love…
Download or read book The Happily Ever After written by Avi Steinberg and published by Nan A. Talese. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir about writing a novel about searching for love. Is romance dead? Is that why there are so many vampires in today's romance novels? When Avi Steinberg's love life took a grim turn, he did what he always does: He consulted his old books, the usual cast of Great (Very Serious, Usually Male) Authors. And he immediately realized that these books were part of the problem. Instead, he began to read romances, the books he--like so many of us--have been conditioned to dismiss as "trashy." What he discovered was a genre that was tremendously diverse and daring, along with a vast network of innovative writers who were keeping the novel as alive as ever. His own relationship problems, he realized, came down to a failure of his imagination. And so he set out on a quest to write and publish a romance novel and to find real-life love. A hybrid of memoir, travelogue, and critical essay, The Happily Ever After chronicles an adventure in a brave new world of literature. Steinberg offers a report from the trenches of romance, moving between major industry conferences and writing groups at the local bar as he works and reworks his romance novel idea. He reveals the inside scoop from a major romance publishing house, crisscrosses the country meeting mysterious ghostwriters and Fabio's great unsung rival, and offers a running take on the fascinating history of romance writing, the genre that invented, and continues to reinvent, the modern novel. Along the way he meets many readers, each of whom sheds light on why we are so fascinated by--and phobic of--romance fiction and what the vitality and fractiousness of our biggest genre says about us. With quirky wit and disarming honesty, Steinberg captures an often misunderstood literary culture and learns, from its devoted practitioners, how to take the Happily Ever After seriously in his own life.

Book excerpt: Laila Tindall is only in Raihan to hone her pottery skills and visit her ailing grandfather. Marriage was never in the picture. But when her grandfather is tricked into signing a binding marriage contract to a man she finds repugnant, she has one choice: Run away. Her flight ends with a fortuitous meeting with Zayid Hasan, Crown Prince of Raihan, who offers the perfect solution to Laila’s predicament: marry him and solve both their problems. Zayid’s younger brother must marry his pregnant fiancé, and ancient laws dictate the oldest brother is required to marry first. Desperate for a way to protect both her grandfather and herself, Laila agrees. After all, their marriage will last only until Zayid’s brother can marry—and her marriage to the brooding, handsome prince isn’t much of a sacrifice. It’s not like she’s going to be foolish enough to fall in love… Zayid doesn’t know what to think about his new half-American wife.

Strangely enough, all the royal functions that used to bore him silly are now entertaining with Laila by his side—even though he knows she’d much rather be alone creating her art. Though the marriage of convenience was his idea, he can’t help but start to wish it was the real deal. No way can he ignore the simmering chemistry that’s driving them both a bit crazy. He’s much better at ignoring what’s in his heart—until he realizes it just might break if he can’t convince Laila to stay with him forever…

Book excerpt: "I didn't come here to talk about your damned marriage," she pointedly brought the conversation to a close. There was no purpose in going around in circles. "I came to ask for your help." "Yes, I know." He was angry now. It was futile attempting to conceal it. The negative emotion fired his blood as lava might a volcano. "You came here for money." His breath was ragged. "And what would I get for my two hundred thousand dollars?" He demanded, his expression inscrutable. For the first time, Abi saw him as an implacable ruler; a man used to getting everything he wanted. It was intimidating. She swallowed nervously. "More than you know," she whispered the words, thinking of their son -- sick and scared on the other side of the world.

She'd fallen in love with a man, completely ignorant of his exalted status as ruler of one of the most powerful countries in the world. Miserable and alone in the wake of his departure, the discovery of her pregnancy leaves her with one unshakable belief: if The Sheikh knew of the baby they'd made, he'd take it away and raise it with his new wife. But when their son turns two, Abigail realizes they can no longer keep the child's existence a secret. A heart condition places him in a life or death scenario that only an expensive operation can hope to heal.
