The Arabian Love-Child — Michelle Reid

Half Arab prince, half French, Rafiq Al-Qadim wears his pride like a suit of armor...as Melanie Portreath had discovered when she fell in love with him years ago. Then Rafiq chose to believe ugly lies about her, and blew her out of his life like a grain of desert sand in the wind....

But Melanie will never stop wanting Rafiq -- unbeknownst to him, she gave birth to his child. Now that Robbie is old enough to need his father, Melanie is determined Rafiq will accept his son...even if he can never forgive her....

t's been eight years since Englishwoman Melanie Portreath fell in love with Rafiq Al-Qadim, a son of the ruler of Rahman. But when she is cruelly ejected from his life after he believes ugly lies about her, she never gets the chance to tell him that she is pregnant with his child.

Now that her son is old enough to need his father, Melanie is determined to tell Rafiq about the child he's never known. Still embittered by what he believes is her past betrayal, Rafiq doesn't let the beautiful blonde from his past get a word in edgewise. However, when he finally discovers that she gave birth to his child years earlier, he quickly assumes his role of father and seeks to fulfill the role of husband.

Sparks fly when he and Melanie reunite, but are the sparks enough for a lifelong marriage?
