The Sheikh's Reluctant Queen: The Sheikh's Destiny. Annie WestЧитать онлайн книгу.
Then Laylah, flaunting tradition and inciting kingdom-wide wagging tongues, did the same with him. It was frowned upon for married couples to indulge in physical affection in public. It was unheard of between the unmarried.
