Beholden to the Throne

Amy is the nanny for the twin daughters of the strict and controlling desert king Emir. Then one day he suddenly proposes to her. Emir lost his wife, the queen, in childbirth a year ago, and he must remarry for the sake of his kingdom, where only sons can succeed the throne. He reasons that since Amy already loves him and the twins, it's a natural fit. Amy can't believe he caught on to her feelings about him, and his sensual gaze makes her feel as if she's on fire... But there's a reason Amy can't be queen...and it could shake the foundations of law in his kingdom.
