Area 61 by Filipa

His Defiant Desert Queen (The Disgraced Copelands #2)

"I will not marry you. I will not!"

When Sheikh Mikael catches notorious model Jemma Copeland flaunting Saidia’s laws—and her body—in his desert, he knows one thing: revenge against his family’s destruction is within his reach! To achieve it he makes Jemma an offer: imprisonment or marriage.

With her life shattered by the scandal that rocked her family, Jemma needed that modeling job. She didn’t know that she was breaking the law! But Mikael’s outrageous proposal pushes her beyond shock…to utter fury. If he expects her to be a meek, pliable bride, this arrogant sheikh has another think coming!

My Opinion:

Jemma Copeland needs her job, and so she accepts to work on an island using her sisters ID. She is discovered and the law of the land states that she is to be imprisoned. At her trial, Mikael, king of Saidia has to decides if keep her locked up on a house for 7 years or to protect her and make her his wife. She decides the house, but the king has others plans. To marry her!
She doesn't want to, but is given no choice as its that or prison. 

this is a story about two complete opposites, and their discovery of some who thought they could not exist between them. Love!

This story is a good company for an afternoon, and stays in our memory for days.
