Литагент HarperCollins EUR

Dmitri Markin meets his match!Twelve years ago Victoria Calder made a mistake that cost her father his business. Now finally she has a chance to atone. And if that means going toe-to-toe with the arresting Dmitri Markin she’s prepared to step into the ring…and put his on her finger!Dmitri—ex-martial arts fighter, present-day pleasure seeker—is a man who likes to win. The beautiful Ms Calder might have initially shocked him with her proposition, but there’s more than one advantage to the deal she’s proposing… If this dedicated bachelor is going to surrender to marriage it certainly won’t be in name only!Praise for Maisey YatesSheikh’s Desert Duty – The Chatsfield, 4.5* RT Book ReviewYates’ romance has all the bells and whistles: beautifully opulent sand-scapes and deadly desert dangers, and a haunted, penitent royal hero and determined, wrong-side-of-the-tracks heroine who may seem ill-fated but are a perfect fit.To Defy A Sheikh, 4.5* RT Book Review TOP PICKYates’ desert tale is metaphoric magic, ripe with iconic costumes and sand-scapes. But it’s her handsome hero and vengeful heroine that rule every page in this murder-to-merger page-turner. Brava!One Night to Risk it All 4.5* RT Book ReviewThe story features humorous and passionate banter between a seemingly devious, yet noble hero and a hiding-behind-a-fa?ade heroine. The lovemaking is combustible, and the luxury-laden backdrops add to the tale.

“If what I’ve heard is true, you want to launch this charity for children. But no one trusts you to be involved inanythingconcerning children. Because, let’s face it, who would haveyouspearheading a charity forchildren? You are, by all accounts, cantankerous, ill-tempered, foul-mouthed and hot-headed. Did I miss anything?”

Dmitri took a step toward her and took a great amount of satisfaction in watching her shrink a bit. “Yes. I’m also something of a womaniser. That doesn’t help my cause. I mean, what with all the rumors flying around about how I meet a woman, take her to dinner and have her naked, between my sheets and screaming my name in only a couple of hours—”

Victoria held up a hand, clearly irritated with the line of dialogue. “I could solve your problems,” she said, twisting the subject expertly.

“By marrying me?”

“I wouldn’t actually have to marry you. I would simply need to hang on your arm for a while, then wear your ring for a while after that. Long enough to get things going.”

“You have thought this through.” And she had ambushed him, with no warning at all. A smart woman. Were she a burly man and not a fine-boned female she might have made an excellent fighter.

A worthy opponent.

But if Victoria wanted to beard the lion in his den she would have to accept the consequences.
