A noiva do xequeCaroline CrossEla era a escolhida, mas estava disposta a fazer-se difícil!Com arrogância, o xeque Kaj al bin Russard conseguia que os homens acatassem as suas ordens e com o seu aspeto deslumbrante fazia com que as mulheres caíssem rendidas aos seus pés. Mas tinha chegado o momento em que necessitava de ambos os dons para conquistar a princesa Catherine de Altaria e levá-la até ao altar. Sendo uma das poucas virgens da realeza, Catherine cumpria todos os requisitos do testamento do pai de Kaj. Mas era preciso muito mais do que os encantos do xeque para derreter a "princesa de gelo", que tinha jurado nunca se apaixonar. Talvez Kaj, com a sua incrível masculinidade, fosse um inimigo formidável, mas Catherine estava disposta a enfrentá-lo… até que cometeu um grande erro: permitiu que a beijasse…Rendição incondicionalMaureen ChildSeria soldado e pai!Chance Barnett entrara e saíra de territórios hostis sem se perturbar perante as armas do inimigo. De facto, não conheceu o medo até que encontrou os olhos verdes daquela encantadora mãe solteira. Jennifer Anderson provocava um desejo intenso no filho pródigo da família Connelly, e ele necessitava satisfazê-lo a todo o custo. Com aquele uniforme branco de marinheiro sobre a pele escura e o seu incrível poder de atração era lógico que Chance conseguisse sempre o que queria. Mas, mesmo que lhe permitisse entrar em sua casa, Jennifer prometera a si mesma não o deixar entrar no seu coração. Assim, talvez desta vez fosse mais difícil do que esperava conseguir o que tanto desejava: um lar, uma mulher a quem amar e uma família.
