The Sheikh will claim his wife...
It's been five years since Alexa set eyes on Giovanni de Verrazzano--five years since she walked out on their pretense of a marriage and took with her a precious secret.
And she will submit!
Since discovering that he is the son of a powerful desert ruler, Giovanni is determined that Alexa resume her role as his wife and accompany him to his desert kingdom. But how will this proud Italian, of Kharastani descent, react when he discovers he has a son?

Alexa is beautiful and proud, but so poor, trying to raise her son alone instead of living with abuse... And, yes, the 'hero' is abusive emotionally, there's no other way around it. But, he's handsome, rich, and she's deeply in love with him. I have no idea why since all he does is call her a slut and have loveless sex with her...

Should be named: The Sheikh's Door-matt Wife
I absolutely could not stand Gio in this book. From the first chapter he was arrogant, unbarable and just plan arachic and those are his most decent qualities. Alexa well lets just say in my opinion she has set the womens movement back a good century...she was a whimp and it showed. I mean there is being in love with someone yes that is understandable....but I kept trying to figure out where her self-respect and self esteem went...some where in her shoes perhaps. Alexa left Gio because he thought her a slut and worse because she wasn't this sainted virgin that he believed he was entitled to marry...spare me!!!!! and for this she was verbally abused and made to feel like she was less than nothing....mind you she never lied to him saying that she was a virigin. His own assumption had him thinking that and he became sorely disappointed on their wedding night....From this point on Alexa " is made to suffer" because god forbid she slept with someone else before knowning the Magnamus Gio......This book made me sorry angry I got through it by the skin of my teeth...
