Merry Christmas, Paige, and you have my word. We'll stay happy for the rest of our lives. So you be happy too, and if you can, give the big guy a hug for me.

Hello everyone. Thank you so, so much for grabbing a copy of Bedded and Deceived, which is the first book of a brand new series. When I wrote this book, I only intended it to be fun, naughty, and just a little angsty. I was inspired by all of the "hero uses heroine for revenge" books I used to and still read.
What I ended up with, however...well, suffice to say, I cried buckets in the latter chapters, and I can only hope I was able to touch your hearts as well.
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to earn in this world. I'd say, in most cases, it's a lot easier to earn your first million than get someone to forgive you. But as the saying goes, to err is human, and to forgive divine. The people around us, even the people we love...any of them can hurt us. There will always be people who'd hurt us. But we just have to learn how to forgive. To be kind. And to keep hoping and loving.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE, it's Week #I-Lost-Count of the pandemic. One of the top specialists here in our country says we can expect really promising news soon about the vaccine. I truly hope so, if only to see the world come alive again. I used to feel frustrated with the heavy traffic in our city, and I used to hope that the roads could be a little less packed. Now, the roads are almost always empty, but the price was all too high. In my books, my characters often learn this lesson a little too late: be careful what you wish for, or they might just come true.
I guess it's my turn to (re)learn that lesson, and it's one I'll work hard never to forget again.
If there's anything this pandemic taught me, then it's to treasure what we have. You just never know what tomorrow will bring.
Anyway, that's it for now. Please flip to the next page for excerpts of my other books in Kindle Unlimited.
Until our next journey,
Marian Tee
P.S. If you enjoyed Bedded and Deceived, I would so love if you could write a review for it or - failing that - Amazon now allows readers to rate a book without a review. Thank you so much in advance!

My Insatiable Sheikh
A Hired Pregnancy and Bully Romance
This is the story of Sheikh Raj and Story.
I SHOULD HAVE TOLD him the truth from the beginning. It was my twin who took his money and agreed to bear his child. But now it's too late.
I HAD MY LIFE ALL MAPPED out. Graduate in three months, find a stable job, and get Dad to live with me in sunny Florida. That was the plan...until my evil identical twin struck again, and I ended up at the beck and call of a tall, dark, and handsome stranger who wouldn't even give me his name.
Even worse, I'm obliged to lose my first time to this arrogant piece of sheikh, and all the other times after that...until I'm carrying his heir.
The lawyers tell me I'll get sued if I don't do as my new lord and master says, but I don't care. The sheikh is a world-class jerk, a selfish and cruel bully who's used to taking what he wants, no matter the cost. He might think he has me trapped, but I'm ready to fight him tooth and nail...until I find out about Dahlia hooking up with the guy I've been secretly crushing on for years.
That's when everything changes, and I'm thinking maybe...maybe instead of solving this mess I'm in, I should just embrace the chaos and see where it takes me.
I bet my sister would absolutely go insane with rage once she finds out her plans have backfired, and my future baby daddy is a gorgeous, powerful sheikh who's going to keep me in luxury for the rest of my life.
It's the perfect plan of revenge, and it's a win-win situation for both the sheikh and me.
It should've worked, too...but everything goes horribly and heartbreakingly wrong instead.

My Arabian King

My father is a war hero in Khalil's kingdom. It's the only reason why our paths crossed, and I never let myself forget this.
The Emir Sheikh already has the whole world worshipping him at his feet. He doesn't need another American girl added to his endless list of fans and groupies.
And besides, I'm too ordinary and snarky for his taste. He might be in dire need for a queen, but I doubt he'd ever look my way. Right?
