Witness characters finding solace and inspiration in their artistic endeavors 🎨✍️ Join Cassie & Mollie for a celebration of beauty and love and the joy of writing art-related fiction.💑💕
Hi, I’m Cassie(and Mollie!) 🎨✍️. Along with painting, I absolutely love to write art-related love stories. 💖(molliemathews.com
🌟 Reason 1: The Power of Expression 🎨✨
Art is a beautiful form of expression that transcends words. Through my stories, I get to explore the depths of human emotions and passions, weaving them into intricate tales of love and creativity. There’s something truly magical about seeing characters find solace and inspiration in their artistic endeavors.
🌟 Reason 2: The Intersection of Beauty and Love 💑💕
Art has the power to capture the essence of beauty, and what better way to celebrate that than through love stories? I adore creating romances where two souls come together, their hearts entwined by a shared appreciation for art. It’s a journey that allows me to explore the connection between creativity and love, and how they intertwine in the most enchanting ways.
🌟 Reason 3: The Unveiling of Hidden Stories 📖✨
Art has the ability to tell stories beyond the surface, to reveal the hidden depths of a person’s soul. When I write art-related love stories, I get to peel back the layers of my characters, exposing their vulnerabilities, dreams, and fears. It’s a chance to showcase the transformative power of art and how it can unlock emotions that were once hidden away.
🌟 Reason 4: The Exploration of Different Art Forms 🎭🎶
From painting to sculpture, music to dance, art comes in countless forms. I love diving into the world of different artistic mediums and incorporating them into my stories. Each art form brings its own unique flavor and adds another layer of depth to the love stories I create. It’s a journey of discovery and exploration that keeps my creativity flowing.
🌟 Reason 5: Inspiring Others to Appreciate Art and Love ❤️🌟
One of the most fulfilling aspects of writing art-related love stories is the opportunity to inspire others. I hope that through my words, readers can develop a greater appreciation for art and the beauty it brings to our lives. Perhaps, they’ll even be encouraged to explore their own artistic passions or see love in a new light.

The Sheikhs Untamed Brides
CLAIMED BY THE SHEIKH is part of Mollie Mathews’ THE SHEIKHS UNTAMED BRIDES series starring Maverick Sheikh Billionaires. While it can easily be read as a standalone story, you’ll likely enjoy reading the other books, too.
Melanie is a pioneering architect. Tariq rescues endangered animals and offers sanctuary to orphaned babies.
The sassy brilliance of Dame Zaha Hadid inspired this book. (DBE RA) She was an Iraqi-British architect and the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004.
Her life, love, and brilliance were cut short when she was in the prime of her career, aged 65.
Her beautiful, innovative, pioneering architecture has always inspired me, like countless others. Hers was not an easy journey. She said, “If architecture doesn’t kill you, you’re no good.”
She was beyond good—and architecture did kill her. She never married, and she never had children. And she was constantly battling the architectural paternity for validation and acceptance. Despite her career success, her life struck me as lonely and sad.
Claimed by the Sheikh was also inspired by the tragedy in 2015 that took the lives of former New Zealand All-Black legend Jerry Collins and his Canadian partner Alana Madill in France. The crash happened at 3:10 am along the highway near Béziers on the way to Montpellier. They died instantly, and their baby daughter was taken to Montpellier Hospital in a critical condition.
I cried such tears thinking of that baby being left an orphan. It worried me that she would be left in the world with no parents to love and care for her.
So I wondered—what if her parents weren’t dead? What if the two people who died were the baby’s adoptive parents? What if her biological parents were very much alive?
And then, as writers are want to do, I thought, what if the biological father was an extraordinarily wealthy sheikh who was unaware that he had fathered a child?
Why a Sheikh? In a previous incarnation as a transformational leadership coach, I was on assignment in one of the most dangerous prisons in New Zealand.
I admired the men and women who worked in these oppressive environments to keep our world safe. I especially admired those who were committed to helping prisoners change their lives. One of the female prison officers at Rimutaka Prison knew I was a romance novelist and asked me if I would write a book with a sheikh as the hero.
So here he is, Cheryl. I dedicate Melanie and Tariq’s love story to you.
And I also dedicate this book to the survivors of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand—and to those around the world who know that only love can bring peace.
Lucy was an art curator turned abstract expressionist artist.
Anwar is a billionaire Sheikh art collector.
★★★★★ “I loved Stolen By The Sheikh! The depth of emotions touched my heart!”
Award-winning author Mollie Mathews returns with another heartfelt exploration of the power of love and second chances. Perfect for fans of love stories by Danielle Steel, Sarah Morgan, and Jojo Moyes
Fiercely independent contemporary artist Lucy Ford was absolutely content with her life—until the day maverick Sheikh Anwar na Hassir strolled into her gallery and back into her life. Anwar could not, would not, must not ever know the truth. Not if she was to keep her child.
Luring Lucy to his desert Kingdom, somewhere between the magic of the desert and the stroll along the ocean, she lets him steal her heart. Only to discover that love, once given, can never be returned.
If you love second-chance romance after heartbreak books, you’ll love this exotic second-chance romance.

Issy is an art therapist and Massimiliano Balforni is a Milan fashion house leader and avowed bachelor
As you may know, reading (and writing) romance is the ultimate feel-good distraction. My ideas start with a character or an event, either a theme that intrigues me or sometimes a news event that captures me. The idea for this story was sparked when I read about a very successful Italian fashion tycoon who said, ‘My biggest regret is that I gave my life to my job.’ It struck me as very, very sad. Add to this a childhood of abandonment and never being hugged! What sort of women could possibly thaw his hardened heart? Find out in The Italian Billionaire’s Christmas Bride

To enjoy FREE love stories:
Why do you want to pen a story or write a book? Is it to publish your poetry? Do you want to share your story to inspire others? Would you love to create a passive income stream? Or do you yearn to make yourself proud, fulfil a dream, share your voice, or something else?
Perhaps it’s a combination of these things. Mostly you want to express yourself, right? Will you be writing for an audience of one—to inspire yourself? Or is the ultimate goal to uplift others and share your voice with the world.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. The main thing is to start. Start to share your heart.
As a child, I wrote poems and short stories and had some of these published in the children’s section of New Zealand’s national newspaper. I wrote about things that made me sad. When I was eight and my Siamese cat was killed by a car I poured my sorrow into a poem.
Later, in Midlife, I wrote about things that made me mad. Like bullying in the workplace and career-related stress. I wrote to heal myself and in the process, I healed others.
Later still, as Mollie Mathews (www.molliemathews.com) I wrote love stories—true romances where strong women overcame obstacles to romance and found everlasting love. I wrote these, and still write romance novels, because it is fun!
I first wanted to be published because I knew I could reach more people with my message of hope, healing and self-empowerment. That was my ‘why’.
My primary ‘why’ was because I loved to write. Writing made me happy. It still holds true.
My secondary ‘why’ was to share inspiration with others.
An unexpected ‘why’ was the global audience who loved my words of passion, purpose and power and sought private coaching and later purchased my books. I loved the income my creativity created and the lives my books impacted.
So excited to be launching my group coaching programme “Love Stories” starting on Valentine’s Day.
