The Sheikh's Pregnancy Proposal

The Sheikh's Pregnancy Proposal
Fiona Brand

This sheikh must marry the mother of his child!Twenty-four hours before he’s to formally announce his engagement to the bride his father has chosen, Sheikh Kadin Gabriel ben Kadir gives in to a rare moment of temptation. But when one night with Sarah Duval leads to pregnancy, he vows he’ll be part of mother and child’s life. His plan: replace one political marriage for another. He’ll wed the captivating history teacher who arouses such powerful desire and keep his heart out of the bargain.But Sarah wants a soul mate. How can she promise forever to a man who has sworn never to be ruled by love?

“If you’re pregnant with my child, that changes things.”

“What things, exactly?”

He hesitated. “I’m already engaged to be married.”

Her jaw set. “If you got engaged so quickly, you must have known your fiancée.”

Gabe parked in her driveway. “No. It was an arranged marriage.”

Horror transfixed her. “So that’s why you slept with me. It was a last fling.”

“It wasn’t like that.”

“How was it, then?”

His gaze pinned hers for long seconds. “You know exactly how it was between us.”

Sarah stared at him, needing to see the truth in his eyes, feeling crazily emotional and on the verge of tears. “So how was it, exactly, between us?”

“Like this.” Gabe cupped her jaw and out of nowhere her heart began to pound and the humming, tingling attraction she’d fought to suppress shimmered through her.

He lowered his mouth, and foolishly she tossed away any thoughts of being sensible and controlled and let him kiss her.

“Our Lord showed me an inward sight of His homely loving. I saw that He is everything that is good and comforting to us. He is our clothing. In His love He wraps us and holds us. He enfolds us in love and He will never let us go.”
