      But Sheikh Malik turns out to be infuriating! Yes, he’s the most handsome man Rachel has ever seen, but he’s also autocratic and aloof. Until, that is, a night under the starry desert sky leads to a passionate kiss... And suddenly a whole new world of possibilities opens up to this intrepid governess!

      I have always loved writing about exotic and far-flung countries—there is something supremely exciting about conjuring up the sights, sounds and smells of a distant land and immersing yourself in a country’s history until it becomes your characters’ natural environment. In writing Governess to the Sheikh I had the opportunity to do something I had never done before: use a fictional setting—in this case the Middle Eastern country of Huria. I drew inspiration for the desert kingdom from the country of Jordan. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of visiting Jordan might recognise the vast orange and red landscapes, the verdant pockets of lush vegetation, and the hardy people who make the desert their home. Malik and Rachel even climb a rocky cliff-face to a high place of sacrifice—something my husband and I did on a recent trip to Petra.

      Some books are easy to write, and some much more difficult. With its beautiful setting, and the instant chemistry between Rachel and Malik, as soon as I’d written the first couple of chapters I knew Governess to the Sheikh was going to be my favourite book to date. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
