Traitor in the Sheikh's Bed — Ros Clarke

Mariyeh Karimi is getting married. To Sheikh Salim of Abuqir. A man she's never met but already hates. Not because they want to. Not because they are in love. No, this marriage is all about political alliances and military threats. So Mariyeh is entering this marriage with eyes wide open and mouth tightly shut. She's marrying Salim to spy on him and seduce him into sharing political secrets. Only she's not a good spy and she's even worse at seduction.



Salim doesn't care who he's marrying, just as long as he can take the throne of Abuqir away from his father before he thrusts their country into a pointless war with their neighbours. It's a shock to discover his innocent little bride spying on him, but that's just the first revelation. After a lifetime of being shielded from power and responsibility, both are suddenly thrust upon him and Salim is rushing to catch up.



He needs to protect his people, prevent an unnecessary war, and win the loyalty of his treacherous little wife. Winning her love will be an unexpected bonus.
