As the author Kim Lawrence and Sheikh Tair describe Molly James as "Miss Mouse" she's far from that especially when she finds herself at the mercy of the very proud and determined Tair.

Molly James has left England and has come to a strange land to get to know her half brothers. Her mother has since passed but married the King only to divorce and leave behind her two sons. Now Molly is a guest of the King's but they have decided not to mention the fact they are related.

Sheik Tair is a proud and determined man and the heir to the throne of his country. He is also a guest of the King, his Uncle and misunderstands the relationship of Molly and his friend Tariq. Because he cares deeply for Tariq and his wife Beatrice, he is determined not to let the little mouse undermine their marriage so he kidnaps Molly and takes her to the desert. He fights his attraction for Molly but in the end, makes love to her which sets off a chain of reactions from her brothers and the King.

Molly James considers herself plain in comparison to her step sisters and her friend Beatrice. She has always lived in the shadows and now she is faced with the challenge of surviving in the desert with an incredibly handsome man. What she doesn't realize is how attracted Tair is to her, that he doesn't find her the "little mouse". He desires her, and her vulnerability touches him in a way that no other woman has touched him.

As all sheiks, he feels honor bound because he has taken Molly's virginity and is duty bound to marry her. But Molly is sensible and realizes he doesn't love her, she refuses and returns to England with a secret.

You will love this sheikh story, full of passion and romance in the desert. But when this sheikh is brought to his knees by Miss Molly, you will cheer right along with her family!

This book is stupid, unbelievable, and confusing in parts. I pitched the book when I was done with it. Usually I would donate it to a resale shop, but I didn't want to burden any other reader with it.
