The premise for this one is certainly different than a lot of books. The heroine returns to England after escaping a Sultan's harem and leaving her son behind. She's of course torn between our love interest who she gets married off to upon her return, and going back to her dangerous past to help her son. Tropes include: grumpy/sunshine, fake marriage, and instalove. I found the read to be enjoyable, but YMMV in terms of how much orientalism and superficial depictions of 19th century Oran you can handle.
