Sabaku Ni Ochita Namida / Hara Title : the SHEIKH'S BARTERED BRIDE (Harlequin Bunko)

[Machine Translation] I am a captive of a Sheikh in the scorching desert. Backlit, I cannot make out his face when he appears at the entrance to the tent.... Catherine, a librarian, had her usual daydreams. I've never been in love, but in my dreams, I belong to Sheikh. However, it became reality one day. Hakim, a prince from another country, visited the library, asked her where to find books, and asked her out on a date! Why is he interested in me, a clumsy girl? Any doubts she had about this are dissipated by Hakim's passionate courtship. Little does he know that he is being used as a captive bride.

灼熱の砂漠で、シークの囚われの身となった私。逆光で、彼がテントの入口に現れても顔はわからない...。図書館員のキャサリンは、いつもの白昼夢を見ていた。恋をしたことはないけれど、夢の中でなら私はシークのもの。ところが、それはある日現実となった。異国の王子ハキムが図書館を訪れて彼女に本の場所を尋ね、デートに誘ってきたのだ!なぜ不器量な私に興味を持つの?疑問はハキムの情熱的な求愛に、消え去ってしまう。囚われの花嫁として利用されるとは知るよしもなく―。
