This HaBO comes from Liz, who is looking for this romance:
I need help finding a book!
OK, here’s what I remember about this book:
– It’s a Harlequin Presents (99% sure)
– The heroine is a professional cheerleader (I’m confident the author who wrote this was a fan of DCC: Making the Team)
– The heroine has had like a year or freedom, and now she must return to her home country and be married to appease her dad.
– The hero may be a sheikh? Royal? Maybe?
I thought for sure this was a Jane Porter from the early 2000’s, but I’ve looked through her backlist and nothing rings a bell.
I read an excerpt of this years ago and it has haunted me ever since.
This sounds so familiar to me, like we may have run this or something similar before, but I couldn’t find anything after a quick search through our HaBOs.
The Sheikh’s Virgin by Jane Porter
Showered with diamonds: Many women have enjoyed the numerous benefits of being Sheikh Kalen Nuri’s mistress.
Draped in exquisite lingerie: Not one of them has managed to keep him interested for very long.
Whisked around the world: Kalen has given beautiful and independent Keira all of these things and more–but she’s still refusing to be his!
And Keira’s the woman who’s been chosen as Kalen’s virgin bride…
I’ve read this numerous times as a guilty pleasure. The cheerleader part is quite small in the beginning but it clued me in.
