My Newest Book: The Auctioned Princess

Abducted when she was barely seventeen, Niloufer, of royal descent, carries with her a secret with her to the auction block a year later. A virginal princess, her captor has made sure men with deep pockets from all over the world gather for a chance to buy her. Meanwhile, sleeping under the desert stars, James McKinnon, Scottish Cartographer and the Duke of Staffin, wakes up with a strange dream about an exotic beauty still lingering in his mind. At his next stop in a small town, he's surprised to hear about an auction since the town has nothing but camels and sand to offer. Even more shocking is that the auction is about selling women to the highest bidder. The minute he sets eyes on Niloufer, James knows this is meant to be. For she’s the one he’s been dreaming of.

    The love between Julian and Sam keeps you hoping for them to open up and declare their love for each other. I loved the jet setting they both did and love living vicariously through their amazing lives. I look forward to hearing more about their amazing lives.
