Melissa James is a former nurse, waitress, shop assistant and history student at university. Falling into writing through her husband (who thought it would be a good way to keep her out of trouble while the kids were little) Melissa was soon hooked. A native Australian, she now lives in Switzerland which is fabulous inspiration for new stories.

When Amber's betrothed was killed and the future of two desert nations hung in the balance, she had no choice-she had to marry her fiancé's brother and heir, brooding Sheikh Harun El-Kanar.
For three years, Amber has struggled to make her marriage work. Harun may be devastatingly sexy, but he's closed-off-burdened with grief and the responsibilities of ruling a troubled nation.
Now they've both been kidnapped. Is this Amber's last chance to show Harun that she could be more than just his paper wife-perhaps even the jewel in his crown...?
