The Royal Sheikh

Reviews (Excerpts)

- "The Royal Sheikh reads like a classic Harlequin romance which absolutely thrilled me. It's a classic tale of love that can be read by older and younger readers alike. Reading this book swept me back in time to my early teenage years and reminded me how warm and special love could be. I think this is an incredible read and it will remain on my shelf for years to come." - Michael Hughes

- " [...] The Royal Sheikh will keep you on edge wanting to get to the end. What will Clare do? What will Rafiq say? How will they overcome this? You will cry, your heart will melt, and you will want to root for Rafiq and Clare. Grab your tissues and some tea and settle in for this romance roller coaster." - S. M. Fatta (Beauty Brite Reviews)


- "The Royal Sheikh is a wonderful romance. I enjoyed the exotic settings and fell in love with Katheryn Lane's characters. I could not put this book down until I had read every last page." - Regina Pucket


Book Description

Clare McKay is a dedicated architect with no time for womanizing men. That is, until she accidentally meets Sheikh Rafiq Al Kahil, an Arabian Prince, known in the international press as the Playboy Prince. Clare is intent on not falling for his seductive charm, but when he asks her to design a mansion, he presents her with an offer that she can’t refuse.

Once she finds herself alone with him in the Arabian desert, how long will she be able to hold out against his advances? And will he be able to cast aside his womanizing past for her, as well as a secret engagement to an Arabian Princess?

About the Author

Katheryn Lane works full-time as a teacher, mother and wife, but somehow also finds time to manage being a part-time writer as well!

The Royal Sheikh is Katheryn Lane's first published novel which went on sale on Amazon last May through KDP. Katheryn always loved reading, and tried to read a wide variety of books, but she particularly likes romance. There’s something about the happy ever after ending that comes at the end of a great romance that leaves you with an unbeatable feel-good sensation. 

Over the years Katheryn has written many romances and most of them are still lingering on her computer at various stages of completion. She has also written and published a lot of non-fiction in the field of education.. 

When she moved out to the Middle East several years ago, after her husband was offered a contract here, she couldn’t help but be inspired to write a desert-themed romance.   

The actual idea for The Royal Sheikh came to her soon after they arrived. Katheryn was out in her car, exploring some of the country, when she came across a deserted beach on the Arabian Gulf. She wasn’t swept off her feet by a Royal Sheikh, but she did see a Bedouin tent and some camels out in the distance, which set her thinking about who might live there and what they might be like... 

With so much inspiration around her (plus quite a lot of free time as far as Katheryn wasn’t working during her first year there) she managed to finish and edit the book, and finally got it published on Amazon. 

Katheryn is hoping to finish a few more of her romances in the near future and publish those too.
