Carol Marinelli’s Ruthless Royal Sheikhs duet features two commanding desert princes. In Captive for the Sheikh’s Pleasure, the first brother takes a woman hostage and finds himself drawn to her against his better judgment. Christmas Bride for the Sheikh gives the second brother a holiday love story with its own complications.
The desert setting and royal power dynamics are typical of Marinelli’s sheikh romances. Both books are short, intense reads that work as standalones but share enough family backstory to reward reading them as a pair.
