In the *Arabian Prince* series: V.1 - *Sheikh no Yuuutsu* Kissing frogs was overrated. And practical-minded Penelope Doyle had yet to find one who didn't turn into a toad at the first lip lock. But when the worst of the bunch stole her heart and her seed money, she vowed she would never again pursue a fairy tale. Even after she accepted a job in El Zafir and met her new boss, Rafiq Hassan, a truly splendid prince whose magnetism certainly made her want to believe in true love, in spite of the facts. Surely, a handsome sheik would never look twice at a plain American girl, no matter how smart or talented. But then...he kissed her. V.2 - *Sheikh no Kodoku* ALWAYS BE HONEST Desperate for a job, American beauty Crystal Rawlins would have done anything to become nanny to Sheik Fariq Hassan's children. And telling a little white lie about her looks to secure a dream job in an exotic location seemed like a very small detail. But then she met her boss, and saw the definition of tall, dark and...wow! AND DO NOT BE BEAUTIFUL Burned before, Sheik Fariq Hassan didn't trust attractive women. Fortunately, his new nanny was far from stunning. Still, he was captivated by her fiery spirit -- and by her passionate kisses. She obviously shared his attraction, so why did she keep pulling away from him? And what secrets was she hiding behind those glasses and bulky clothing...? V.3 - *Sheikh no Gosan* BEWARE TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME SHEIKS IN MOONLIT GARDENS... Too late! Once Kamal Hassan drew her into his arms for a breathless kiss, Ali Matlock was already halfway to losing her heart. Though the sensual sheik was definitely the world's most irresistible bachelor, Ali wanted more than just the passionate affair he was offering! Royal decree demanded that Kamal marry and produce an heir. And ever since that magical moment five months ago, he'd known Ali was everything he wanted in a woman -- and a wife. And if he wasn't careful, the alluring commoner from a faraway land could wring from his lips the three words he knew she longed to hear. [From fictiondb]

In the *Chichi no Okurimono* (Father's Wish) series: V.1 - *Heart no Tsubasa* (That Old Feeling) Of all the favors her beloved father could ask, helping Clint McPherson was the only one Brandy King wanted to refuse. Of course, her dad didn't know his right-hand man had once rebuffed her kiss. Well, that was then. This was... No different. Somehow Clint's allure had improved! And he'd added a secret weapon to his arsenal of charm: a toddling baby girl in need of mothering. Well, Brandy was nothing if not brave. She'd make diaper changing her first conquest. Then she'd show this stoic single father that she was woman enough to handle what had always been between them. V.2 - *Koi wa Shabondama ni Nite* (Chasing Dreams) Dubbed the "brainy" one, Jessica King felt safest in an ivory tower. So working in a garage for brooding mechanic Garner Blake was well outside her comfort zone. But she would make the best of it because her father had requested it. Yet a daughter's "duty" was not what Jessica felt when Garner challenged her opinions and looked at her that way. Both of which he did much too often! No, she felt alive. And petrified. Because she was beginning to realize she'd never known herself -- or what she really wanted.... V.3 - *Umarekawatta Hanayome* (Priceless Gifts) Rand Peabody radiated iron will, fearsome strength, an ability to control things lesser men might back away from...which made him perfect for Chelsea King. Or so her father thought. He'd hired the soldier-turned-bodyguard because he'd believed Rand could protect her and look beyond her beauty and headstrong nature. And Rand did see through her facade to realize he needed Chelsea as much as she needed him. But love? That was out of the question. Especially when that kind of thinking could only get a man in trouble, make him forget rule number one: protect the priceless gift in his care without losing his heart. (descriptions from fictiondb)
