Desert Brides is a twelve-book multi-author Harlequin series spanning from 2003 to 2022. The books all feature sheikh heroes and settings in fictional or loosely defined Middle Eastern kingdoms. Nicola Marsh contributed several entries, including the To Catch/Kiss/Wed a Sheik trilogy and later additions.
The sheikh romance subgenre was a major part of Harlequin’s catalog through the 2000s, and this series represents one of the longer-running collections. The desert setting, palace intrigue, and cultural clash between heroes and heroines provide the framework for each standalone romance.
