Destined for the Desert King

A queen of convenience?

There's no doubt that their marriage is one of convenience and political maneuvering. But shy beauty Aziza El Afarim secretly hopes that her husband--the boy she once idolized--remembers something of the closeness they shared as children.

But as pressure to produce an heir mounts, could there be more than duty in the marriage bed?
